As much as football is a huge part of his life I hope he is smart enough to walk away if he should suffer another concussion … and if he’s not , don’t turn around and sue the NFL .

Jim Scwartz: You’re on PUP

Concussions seem to compile making it easier to get more of them and longer to get back. The helmet has become a weapon the NFL needs to look at cushioning the outside of the helmet, like boxing does with gloves.

Hopefully doctors clear him soon

See how that works, Bears fans?

Week after that: “Best joins lawsuit against NFL”

Best has to pass multiple tests today to be cleared.

The decision will not be made exclusively by the Lion’s team doctors. There are a variety of medical people from around the country who will be involved in the testing and decision.

Best sounds confident. Schwartz is saying they’ll still be cautious about involving him in contact drills during training camp.

He’s a great player and an important cog for the Lions

Both critical to their teams’ plans.

Both with uncertain futures.

Go back to Cal and earn your degree, and then you can stay in football as a coach.

There would be a concern either way, but if the latter is true then this kid probably shouldn’t suit up anymore
