Mahomes has "no symptoms".

[Devil Doc]

Has anyone ever had this concussion test? Is there a way to "fake" answers to pass? I've been diagnosed with a TBI, just not sure if it is the same test.

Pretty much what I posted in the other thread. Of course this is just speculation from an (informed) outside observer so he may actually have a concussion and not get cleared for Sunday, but I do think Dr. Chao's explanation is the most plausible scenario and it lines up with the reports we've been getting so far and what the video of the hit and reaction from Mahomes showed. Definitely hope that this is the case for Mahomes' sake and for fans who want to watch a great AFCCG on Sunday.

I had a vasovagal reaction to a flu shot one year. Put me on my keister and I was sent to the hospital for evaluation.

I'm not really sure how there is even a question about this... he never hit his head. The nerve/choked out explanation is perfectly viable and I'm not quite sure why people think its not other than being willfully ignorant. 

The choked out explanation is completely ridiculous. Go try and choke someone out in .5-1 seconds.

Good, looking forward to seeing him play Sunday.

I suppose choked out wasn't the right word. What I mean is if you hit/squeeze someone's carotid arteries (or carotid sinus) hard enough and then yank them around by their neck, they are gonna be a bit dizzy when trying to stand up.

Yeah and that carotid stun scenario that they were talking about. That is completely plausible.

He will play.  There's too much money involved for him not to.

Who cares, Buffalo wins regardless.  I want a Bills-Packers SB and let the Mafia get a Lombardi for christ sake.  Can you imagine the celebration?  RIP all tables in western New York

Pretty much everyone is saying it was most likely a brachial stun. If that is so unlikely then how could you possibly say it's a concussion?

I’m not saying it was a concussion. I’m just saying that I don’t buy it being a “choke out” scenario.

The angle and stretch I saw suggested brainstem injury.

I’m more concerned with the “signs” and not so much the “symptoms.”

It's a brachial stun and thats exactly what it does
