If you're not getting the green light after 1+ YEARS after your last concussion you're likely not getting it. Dude needs to stay away from football.


It has made me wonder what they notice about him that's keeping him from clearance.

Like, is there slurred speech, motor skills, what is it? My curiosity wants to know how bad these guys' heads are getting scrambled.

I'm sure it's probably nothing THAT recognizable in everyday life. They're probably just doing a full neuro work up.

No, he says he feels completely normal, that's why he wants to come back. I believe he was never cleared because tests show he still has some memory issues. I think he never tested back to the level he was at before the last concussion. He needs to retire from contact sports.
