What is the word on Vontae Davis

[hambone35]

Not exactly sure what happened to Davis, but he went out any updates or insight?

[James Harden]

Concussion. Don't know the details. probably day-to-day

[SilentHill]

He needs to play next week.

 

I don't want to see Toler or Gordy trying to cover Josh Gordon.

 

I'd even go as far as to say, if Davis can't play this game will be a coin flip as to who will win.

[Moopsiepuffs]

Early analysis has concluded that it is indeed the bird that is the word.

Eh, looks like Johnny Football will be their QB next week. But yes, VD needs to be healthy.

[BlueCollarColts]

Concussion, no word on how severe. 

[CR91]

our defense changed dramatically when davis went out. he is the second most important player on the team

[masterlock]

Early analysis has concluded that it is indeed the bird that is the word.

The bird is greater than, or equal to, the word.

1 in 12 American's are unaware that the Bird is the Word. I for one, dream of an America where everybody knows that the Bird is the Word. .

[ColtsBlueFL]

There is a possibility he might not be ready next week. Read the section titled "Days after the Game" for the steps/protocol in this article-

 

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000253716/article/nfls-2013-protocol-for-players-with-concussions

 

The important takeaway is this sentence-

 

""The thing that I think is important here is you don't manage concussions by a calendar," Dr. Herring said. "Some guys may come back in a week. Some guys may come back in six weeks. These steps don't have an expiration date on them. The player's history of injury and other issues come into play.""

Then, let's get surfin' !!

Could be a lot worse looked like it could have been a neck injury he seemed pretty alert so lets hope it wasn't a bad concussion

[fatboy]

In a completely unscientific evaluation, he tweeted after the game that he is fine. I'm assuming he was the actual tweeter on his account!

[RomanianColtsFan]

I am actually still convinced that it is a neck injury. He hit the middle section of the Redskins player with his helmet. I didn't think that was enough to rattle his brain enough to generate a concussion. Instead I saw how his neck bent a lot. 

[Smonroe]

That's just wrong...

You can be convinced now.  And it is official he is in the concussion protocol and must pass all the neuro tests to be allowed to suit up.  Toler didn't pass them last week vs. Jags after his. Hopefully Vontae can.  But he won't even practice until he does, let alone play.

If Davis is full practice status on Friday, he'll likely be cleared to play.

[RockThatBlue]

That's just wrong...

. Took me a minute to get it but I see what you did

[B~Town]

Would not surprise me at all either his neck bent and compressed at the same time hope he alright we don't have any quality depth behind him .

I am aware of that and it's based on Pagano's statement immediately after the game but I still have my doubts. That's OK. I hope Vontae is fine and he gets well enough to play next week.

You can get a concussion without being hit directly in the head. Violent neck movements like that are known to lead to concussions.

 

Also, the doctors who actually examine the player -- not to mention the years of training they have -- are probably more qualified to diagnose the situation than any of us who get to watch the game on TV. Not to be condescending, but how can you argue with the doctors about something like this?

I am not arguing with the doctors. I just expressed doubts based on what I saw. It's my personal opinion and I am willing to accept that is wrong if that's the case.

Coach: Doc says he has a concussion.

 

You: I still have my doubts.

 

I mean, that's cool, you obviously can view a situation however you want. And I understand questioning it, to a degree. (I was sure Bradshaw had a concussion last year in the Niners game, and thought the coaches and medical staff missed it. I was wrong, of course.) It just seems like, once the game is over and the coach comes out and says that he suffered a concussion, that it would put all the questions to rest. JMO.

I'm going to watch that play a few more times. When I finish , I will give you all my opinion on just what I think this injury is.

[ruksak]

VD needs to be healthy.

Let's not call him that. 

[GoColts8818]

Well since Chuck Pagano is the coach and it's the team doctor who examined him that talked to Chuck I am going to go out on a limb here and say Pagano is right and it's a concussion. 

[buccolts]

Thank you Doctor.

Give it to us straight.

[dw49]

Thank you Doctor.

Give it to us straight.

 

 

OK .. here ya go. I'm dissing the report of a concussion by the Colt doctors. My official diagnosis is a contusion of the scrotum.

Sounds painful.

How long is he out?        

[dw49]

50-50 he plays vs Cleveland. 80-20 he's ready vs Houston.

I'm was not saying the doctors are by any means wrong about the concussion but maybe his neck might be a little dinged up too . It was the first thing the trainers were checking out so I'm guessing he said something about his neck hurting .

Ah. Okay.

[Dr. Guildo]

Sounds like he doing fine while spending time with family. The hit wasn't helmet to helmet so I'm guessing it was mainly from his head being flung back.

Glad to have my family in town to see another team win! Appreciate #ColtsNation for your support - I'll be alright. #COLTSTRONG

[COLTS449]

Man I hope he can go next week. We really need him to cover Gordon.

[swflacoltsfans]

Amazing!! You may replace expensive MRI equipment!!

[Valpo2004]

Hope he can come back to play.  As others have said, it could be a nightmare defensively without Vontae in to cover Josh Gordon.

[ProblChld32]

I certainly hope he passes the concussion protocols, he will be needed in the lineup as Gordy is just god awful and they have Josh Gordon back.

[Narcosys]

Eh, looks like Johnny Football will be their QB next week. But yes, VD needs to be healthy.

We should never again refer to Davis as VD. it is more widely recognized as meaning something else. Just saying.

[RockThatBlue]

The almighty forum doctor has spoken.

Do you make house calls too?

That's exactly why I done that. Now I could segue into a joke, but it's not forum approved

Not for what these insurance companies are paying us Doctors.
