Patriots Injury News Carlton Davis in concussion protocol

[Rob0729]

Didn't we know this already? I was announced during the game he went back to the locker room with a head injury.

The question is whether he can get through the concussion protocol. If he isn't on the field today in a non-contact jersey, the odds aren't good.

Hmmmmm it wasn't a Monday Night Game so I'm somewhat optimistic.

Miles Automatic Austin would make Stidham look like the second coming of Tom Brady. I'm not looking forward to that.

Charles Woods was out there in place of Davis last week, and has been the top backup CB since before Austin got injured.

Sweet music to my ears.

Woods been ok: I would like him to get a Full TC to see how much more he improves. You just have to be above average to supplant the below average Austin.

Maybe it's just me but every time I see Woods involved in a pass play, he is trailing, not competing. Please prove me wrong, but this is a significant weakness going in.

Yeah I have seen many cringe Worthy plays from him. We better find a way to Attack Denver: LT Garett Bolles is a Rock on the Left Side: don't think we're getting by him. We don't want Stiddy to get too comfortable.

 

[patfanken]

If he's designated as "limited" today, then based on the vast education we got last week, then he is right on schedule to play, assuming he passes each phase of the protocol.

This is good news, folks.

 

[condon84]

When Bills CB White went out with an injury against the Broncos last weekend, Payton and Nix targeted his replacement right away and hit some long passes.

If Davis can't play, I expect Stid will be instructed to throw at Woods anytime he has a chance to do so.

 

[mgteich]

Well we've basically got him for another 2 years - so hopefully he figures out the penalty thing.

penalties that prevent TD's are a GOOD thing

You missed the TD's when Woods was targeted last Sunday. NOT!

 

[KCSVEN]

Looks like Davis will play as already in phase 4 out of 5
Barring some unexpected setback. I expect him to be out there. Looks like Hollins will be out

 

[JoeSixPat]

Yeah I hear you - better to have a PI on the 1 yard line than a TD.

I feel the same way about a penalty by the OL that protects the QB

That being said, my gut feeling is that Vrabel prefers players who make plays AND don't commit penalties, as some CBs have shown that you can defend a pass without committing pass interference.

 

[Vindicate]

I think he should be cleared based off of his body language after the fact, however, sometimes these things just linger and that's all it takes. We'll see. When backups have come in for both Gonzo and Davis so far this post-season, they've done their jobs well.


If he was out, it'd be nice to snag the W and then remind teams who complain about injuries that half of this game is having good depth.

That's worrisome. He's penalty-prove, but a real asset (and as fragile as Italian stemware [Huh?])

Racist.







(jk of course. I hope that's obvious).

 

[Vindicate]

Those things look dumb AF, but if they can help our boys stay healthier and have better lives in retirement as well I'm all for em.

If every player wore them, they'd stick out less and look less silly.

 

[patman12]

SMH... Said this was going to happen.. NFL doing their damnedest to hamper this team..

I don’t think this is that, unless you have some insider info on his lack of symptoms and the NFL forcing him into protocol.

Reminds me of guys not wearing helmets and then visors in the NHL. NFL should make them mandatory since they care about player safety so very much.

The only "insider" knowledge that I have is that if the Sky Doctor calls down regarding a "potential concussion" the team must have the player leave the field and go to the locker room for an "evaluation".. In Gonzo's case, he legit hit his head, but he didn't need help getting up, was checked by the sideline staff and went to the bench. In Davis case, he asked for help to get up like players do on every play. He didn't actually take a hit to the head. Went to the sidelines. Was on the bench. Again, Sky doctor called down.
