DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Trent Green was knocked unconscious with a grade-three concussion -- the most severe -- and he'll undergo further tests on the career-threatening injury to determine his future.

ESPN Radio: Golic's take

ESPN Radio's Mike Golic doesn't blame Texans DL Travis Johnson for reacting as he did on Dolphins QB Trent Green because Johnson was inches from getting his knees taken out. Golic thinks the competition committee has to take a closer look at this. Listen

Green has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Cleveland a day after he was injured against Houston. Coach Cam Cameron declined to discuss the possibility the injury will prompt the 37-year-old Green to retire.

"I don't think we really know the full extent, because there are some ongoing tests," Cameron said Monday. "Right now I just think there are too many unknowns."

Green was hurt in Sunday's loss to the Texans. He was motionless on the field before being carted away and taken to a hospital, but he flew home with the team.

A severe concussion in the 2006 opener sidelined Green for half of last season when he played for the Kansas City Chiefs. Following that injury, there were concerns about his durability when the Dolphins acquired him in June.

Cleo Lemon, who replaced Green at Houston, will make his second NFL start against the Browns. The Dolphins and St. Louis Rams are the only teams with 0-5 records.

Say goodbye to our 4th rounder, oh well 5th it is...

The guy should honestly hang them up and spend some time in the booth. He would be a major upgrade compared to what is there now in most cases.

He's done. The end.

I hate seeing Trent out there being a shell of his former self. It's not worth it, just retire already.

That's what I've been saying since last season. He never should have come back after the first one.

With all appreciation and respect, I say this: Stay down, bitch. Seriously, somebody who cares about Trent that he'll listen to needs to stop him before it's too late. Assuming it's not too late already.

Hopefully those text messages weren't actual quotes.

He could be the next Jaycee Pearson.

"Too many unknowns" my ass...Trent is toast.

BucEyedPea · 10-08-2007, 04:58 PM

Very sad. I feel for the guy and his family. I hope he will okay and then get out of the game.

He would have already been killed if he was still here in KC behind our swiss cheese line. Trent will do the right thing, good luck Trent.

Our pass protection is better than Miami's

Sad to see his last play ended on a stretcher, but it's over for good old Trent.
