That's a relief! Hopefully he will be able to contribute near his usual level of production, although I'm still doubtful you can recover from a concussion so quickly... but I don't know much about it, though.

Baby is going to beast tonight!  Concussion?  What concussion?

I agree.  Obviously if this were not such an important game, BBD would not be playing.

It depends on the severity, which we never got an update on. IF it's just a minor concussion, which can knock you loopy like we saw but not result in any swelling, he should be good to go.

IF it' a higher grade concussion...I hope he takes it easy.

Of course, one assumes if it was a bad one, the doctors would override him and sit him down for safety's sake.

LETS GO C'S!

If it was a higher grade concussion, I'm not sure he would be cleared to play.

i believe it was bad he would not be playing. these same doctors sat scal down for the same reason

I am not saying there is something fishy going on but Scal ain't BBD.  We certainly need BBD much more today than we ever needed Scal. 

From my perspective, I saw BBD go stiff while on the ground.  That is a pretty good indication that the hit was pretty bad.  He was knocked out.

Like I said, I just hope that he is okay.  But I would not count on him being all there.  It could happen, but I would not count on it.
