*** Official Concussion Protocol Thread ***

[BigRedChief]

Lets get this information available here. I'll update the OP with the current info.

Posted on ESPN and talked about live on ESPN......

Wednesday am

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, and it's too early to say that he definitely will play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.


Mahomes cleared certain steps Monday, "some big steps," sources told Schefter, but the reigning Super Bowl MVP still must go through other steps to clear the concussion protocol in the coming days. There is hope and optimism, considering he is expected to practice Wednesday, a source told Schefter.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Practices this time of year are basically for mental reps, anyway. More like glorified walkthroughs. So Mahomes won’t miss much, either way. https://t.co/wEslqsgDXH

——————————————————————-
According to the NFL’s concussion data, which is collected by healthcare data company IQVIA, the median time for the 29 quarterbacks who suffered a concussion between 2015-2019 to complete concussion protocol and return to play was seven days.

Im guessing this is what the week looks like if all goes well:

Wednesday:

Phase 3: Football Specific Exercise

This is when the team can begin to introduce football-specific activities. Mahomes would be allowed to partake in supervised strength training and exercise with the team in 30-minute intervals or fewer. Players can sometimes return to practice in a limited capacity in the phase, dependent upon what the practice day entails. He’ll again have to be monitored for concussion symptoms and undergo neurocognitive testing during this phase. If he’s able to get through it without any worsening concussion symptoms he’ll advance to the next phase.

Thursday:

Phase 4: Club-Based Non-Contact Training Drills

This is where Mahomes can get back to all non-contact football work at practice. He can begin throwing, running and do other QB-specific activities. On walkthrough days, players could be listed as a full participant in practice during this phase. If he’s able to get through this phase without any new or worsening symptoms and passes through neurocognitive testing he’ll advance to the final phase of the NFL’s return-to-participation protocols.

Friday:

Phase 5: Full Football Activity/Clearance

If Mahomes is able to get through team meetings, conditioning and non-contact practice without recurring symptoms and his neurocognitive testing returns to baseline, he’ll be able to be cleared in full by the team’s training staff. In this phase, Mahomes would be cleared for full-contact football activities in both practice and game-time. As we mentioned earlier, he’ll also have to be cleared by an independent league neurologist. That would also occur in this phase.

Saturday:

Bills Mafia collectively shit their pants

Sunday:

Mahomes drops 40 on the Bills and raises the Lamar Hunt Trophy.

You're this much of a stubborn ass that youre down voting me twice for this nonsense? Mahomes took ZERO sacks. He barely took any hits in the pocket. What space dimension were you in when you were watching this game?

I have no idea what you are talking about. I’ve not down voted a damn thing. You can see who down voted your posts. Go look.

the SJW crowd would have attacked the NFL

NFL players are learning to grab a hip, and arm, a knee, while to cobwebs clear. Keep the neurologist out of your face and you might not end up in their protocol.

Awesome. No lasting effects for him either.

My hope is slowly being restored.

Here's a interesting thing. Nowhere did Any ever said (to my knowledge) that Pat has a concussion. All he said was "He's doing great right now, which is a real positive as we look at this. He passed all the deals he needed to pass and we'll see where it goes from here."

Nothing in there indicates an concussion.

I think this is more of a strained neck or something.

Yeah that's what gives me the most hope. And Mahomes isn't even 10% as violent as the hit Allen took.

[RollChiefsRoll]

Just saw video of Mahomes sprinting down the tunnel after the play, and the FOX guys said he was trying to get back into the game.

HE GOOD.

either way..once hes ruled out..he must go through the concussion protocol. . best to hope is Monday he has no symptoms..
cleared by Wednesday..
his foot in the Bills ass by Sunday. .

Superbowl in a few weeks holding up the Lombardi. .

right?

It was NOT a choke. Watch the replay again. He takes a punch to the chin and is unconscious before he hits the ground. Like a flash KO in boxing.

It was a choke. Inadvertent. You can clearly see in the slow-mo replay the forearm along Patrick's neck, between the shoulder pads and the edge of the helmet, and as Mahomes goes to the ground, the defender's body swings over and around Patrick, putting most, if not all, of his bodyweight against Patrick's neck. More than enough force to close the carotid on that side, which would induce an immediate blackout. And it might've been so short-lived that Mahomes wasn't even aware that he blacked out.

[Chiefs=Champions]

My understanding is that even if you show no signs in the locker room, they'll still review the tape of the play and what happened after. So while he may have passed the tests he looked very wobbly so he's ruled out for the game. Diagnosis can change tomorrow, but the NFL wont risk the possibility of a concused player returning to a game. They cant afford to.

[Mahomes_Is_God]

Mahomes recovers faster than normal humans. He good.

[DTVietnam]

Boomer just said if he had to bet ..he'd bet $1 mill that Patrick plays..

Doesnt really mean anythign coming from him (a non Dr) ..but I think we will get some good news Monday and then conformation Wednesday

100%.... when he got up and was completely out of it..there was 0 chance they were letting him back in. .
