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.

I've yet to see this clip.

Sucks for you then. Right when his head bounces both arms lay out wide. He was out.

I wonder how long they'll take to evaluate him before making a roster move?

I haven't seen the overhead replay yet, but he sure as hell acted like he took a blow to the head. He tried to sit up a few times and you could see him swoon a bit and fall back over.

Yeah, it was obvious. Even when he was sitting on the bench he looked like he had no idea what was going on. He wobbled to the locker room, almost falling over.

I've seen several clips, even during the game, and I have not seen his head bounce off the grass.

Why the **** does this matter? You do not have to hit your head to get a concussion.

Eat a bag of dicks.

I just wanted to see it.

Every concussion you see in this game is a shot to the head.

Others have seen a different clip which shows his head bouncing off the grass.

I'm not saying it didn't happen, I just want to see it.

Change your tampon.

Why do you have to see it? Are you a head trauma specialist? Go put your tinfoil conspiracy hat on an chant about how it is a fake injury.

Show me where I said I thought he faked it.

You implied it by saying he never hit his head and all NFL concussions are a result of impact to the head.

Take you own advice and change your tampon.

I am a simple man, How do you get a concussion unless you take a blow to the head?

Very simple. If you are in a collision where your head whips back and forth this jostles your brain. They brain impacting the skull is what causes the concussion.
