He's playing, 100%....not sure why you think otherwise?

I may be wrong but I don't think just being out of the green jersey and participating in practice in a likely limited capacity means he's fully cleared the concussion protocols. Pretty sure for some of those concussions Luke had he practiced for days/weeks before finally being ready to come back and play. I hope you're right, but still not expecting it.

YGM is an ankle problem. Probably a lingering injuries, those are bitches. Burns was a possible concussion, but that looks to have been not so bad. Although that hit was pretty damn bad. 

mild concussion, we need him out there. Foles is lead feet. he better play.

Good sign. Still not counting on him playing Sunday but obviously very good news there.

Posted the following in another thread yesterday on the issue: 

“https://www.sportscasting.com/nfl-concussion-protocol-explained-how-does-it-work/
 

I think it’s a reason to be optimistic. Based on the above, I’d say he’s likely at the step right before being cleared (position Specific training minus contact activities) given he’s out there with a helmet. There are quite a few steps before: stretching only, then medically supervised light aerobic, then cardio then strength training. Then they can do position specific minus contact.

The last step is the team clearing the player to return and the team’s neurotrauma expert concurring. Based on the speed of progression, seems possible they put him through the protocol out of an abundance of caution. I’d bet tomorrow we’ll have our answer.”

It’s not 100% clear from the article whether returning to contact and the neurotrauma expert’s concurrence are simultaneous, but reason would suggest as much before returning to contact. I believe the fact that he’s been cleared for contact most likely means he’s cleared to play barring some bizarre setback.

From what I recall you had to go limited in practice then full contact and not show any residual symptoms after each step in the process. I would think he would have to be a gametime decision and then easing him back into a game if he plays. Seems caution is the watch word these days.

      panthers offense 30 of 32 in yards per play

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I don't think we have been good yet. We were generally effective yesterday when we got scoring opportunities but struggled to move the ball under a heavy blitz and new receivers who he is still trying to develop better chemistry with and a makeshift line. And last week the comeback was impressive until it fizzled out. But week one we were bad and we have way too many penalties and picks and the occasional WTF play. We were better yesterday and the offense had no turnovers although special teams did. We are a work in progress as any panther fan would expect. I think we have the most rookies on our roster compared to any other team. No one thinks we are all that amazing or thar Bryce is the answer for sure. But we aren't the worse either and this constant negative narrative really is ridiculous and drowns out everyone else. I doubt I will be here much especially if we lose. The conversation is so negative and constant I don't even check in until Wednesday. But I will be here like always since 2004. Just not engaging in conversations with folks who just want to bitch and complain over and over with anything they can find as if that makes things better or they are saying something we all don't feel at times. Most of us realize this is year 2 of a rebuild and there are ups and downs. You have to be comfortable on the roller coaster. But anytime you point out the good you get inundated with negative crap as if we didn't see it too......

      Sanders to miss weeks to high ankle sprain

      🤣 Nick is the bed sore on the backside of our defense! If we are going youth movement like Canales says, he should be relegated to back up special teams coverage.
