Cassel has concussion

The official word after Sunday’s loss by the Chiefs to the Ravens was that quarterback Matt Cassel is being evaluated for a head injury.

The evaluation has been completed. Per a league source, Cassel has a concussion.

And so Cassel’s status will depend on evaluations and opinions from an independent neurologist, who must clear Cassel to practice and play. Until he’s cleared, he can do neither.

Here's to hoping that it's hard to schedule an appointment with an independent neurologist.

Hip, hip Hooray!!!! Let's all do the Chiefs chopper!

After all, he's not REALLY hurt. He's faking it to gain sympathy or because he's a big f'n pussy and wants off the field.

If the neurologist is a Chiefs fan, he might recommend retirement.

i think the new rule on concussions are that if you suffer one the week before, you have to set out a week before being able to play again

I don't think his head hit anything. If he has a concussion, then I think it probably has to do with his head being jarred from the hit. That can cause a concussion.

Is Cassel a toddler? Shaken-Cassel syndrome?

The funny thing is, with a concussion he actually has an excuse to play as badly as he does without a concussion.

**Guru** · 10-07-2012, 06:18 PM

Didn't the NFL change the rules on concussions to where you cannot play the next game regardless if you are medically cleared in a way to protect players from themselves?

Posted in another thread but a concussion makes sense. I saw him hit on his ass.
