Great news as that is an important step towards clearing the protocol in time for Sunday. As comparison, Nico Collins is not practicing today for Houston.
Great sign
I can see gonzo playing but no way Christian Kirk. The man was stretchered off and already missed a game due to concussion. What independent doctor going to sign off on that?!
For Context the NFL’s concussion protocol phases:
-rest and light activity (Phase 1)
– progressing through aerobic exercise (Phase 2)
– football-specific drills (Phase 3)
-non-contact training (Phase 4)
-full contact (Phase 5), will then need to be cleared by the team physician and an independent neurological consultant but this is all but a sure thing after completing phase 5.
Gonzo is most likely in phase 4, maybe still in phase 3. Seems to be on track for sunday. You cannot elevate more than 1 stage per day. This Makes Nico’s situation more concerning for Houston as he looks to still be in phase 1 0r 2
Nico landed on his head and was very close to doing the “hands” thing with concusions. Gonzo had someone roll on his head. It didnt look as serious as Nico to me but im no expert.
LFGGGGGGG
Part of the protocol systematic process.
He’ll be ready on Friday
I hit my head today too, but I cleared Concussion Protocol.
At least he’s practicing! They’re just taking caution!
