Denzel Ward

[Omar The Horse]

He just made the Pro Bowl

 

[The Oi]

Don’t need him.

Out of playoff race, playing the Bengals.

He’s a fun toy. But they’re counting concussions these days. No good reason to fuck up one of your best player‘s careers during a meaningless game.

So they technically aren't out if the playoff race. Just saying

Three teams wont tie.

Three teams wont tie.

Yes they will.

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

Yeah, one does not simply rush a star back from the concussion protocol to face Hue Jackson and the Bengals.

I think this is spin

There’s reason for concern. If he isn’t being cleared he isn’t coming close to his baseline results from his tests. That’s... not good

 

[The Oi]

Lets place some wagers. Turns out they actually only need one tie.

We appreciate your expertise and personal bedside manner in the diagnosis, Dr. Moz.

Neither of us are doctors. I’m just observing that this is an above average length of time to miss for a concussion.

I highly doubt they would hold Ward out if he wasn’t still concussed.

As for if they are holding him out to ensure he doesn’t get another concussion because we are out of the playoffs... I just don’t find that likely. As far as I know there’s a pretty fine line for concussion protocol. You pass it or you don’t. If that’s not correct I’d be interested in someone saying more about the process.

Concussion Protocol also requires that he gets cleared by independent neurologists.

These aren’t Browns team physicians, and thus, can’t be a case of them taking extra precaution and shutting him down.

This decision hasn’t even been put in the hands of the team yet.

This is the correct take. Even if Pitt had lost last week, it's still not worth it. Actually, from what we now know about head injuries, it's NEVER worth it to rush someone back. Football is just a game.

Maybe it’s just a game to you and I, but to a NFL player it’s a way of life.

 

[CBBI]

I would shut Ward down for the rest of the year.

No need to mess with concussions. We know he's good. Just need to him to have a healthy offseason now.

And for the longevity of Ward’s career it’s likely in his best interest to not be rushed back.
