...The Colts also announced that Kwity Paye, who has started all four games at defensive end, is in the concussion protocol. Paye played the entire game yesterday but began to feel concussion symptoms afterward.

My goodness.  The hits just keep on coming.

This hurts because he's so great vs the run and now we play Henry next.

Agree.  Hopefully Defo gets back to good health this week or we're really hurting.

Dayo will be fine but does hurt the rotation. Buck and grove need to be healthy to help the run defense.

I see we have DE Al-Quadin Muhammad and DT McTelvin Agim on the practice squad.

Perhaps someone gets called up?

[csmopar]

At least we’re fairly deep along the DL though Paye is my guy, he’s a beast and his absence will be felt no matter what

[hoosierhawk]

Is it certain he won't be cleared by then?

Kenny Pickett in Week 7 last year was the last player to get a concussion and be cleared in time for the next game

Maybe these symptoms are something else than actually being concussed.

I suppose it comes down to... if he got hit in the head?

Pickett most likely either had a supremely mild concussion, or never had a concussion to begin with.  

 

We are witnessing a massive overcorrection by the league in regard to handling concussions due to the negative press and lawsuits.  It's not a bad thing, at all.  It's just a much more severe correction than we would have seen in any other circumstances

I think if a player is feeling good by Friday after getting a mild concussion from a game almost a week ago, it should be their decision if they want to play or not on Sunday's upcoming game. Doctors are not God. A person knows their own body better than anyone else. AR probably could have played at Baltimore, but the doctors kept him out. I say that because after AR's supposed concussion, he was spotted out walking around the next day in broad day light doing normal things.

The skeptical me wonders if independent Drs might try to gain a financial advantage by not passing key players. ( for gambling purposes)

I don't blame you at all for thinking that. That is another reason why I would leave it to the player if he thinks he can play or not. If the player is really feeling bad, he won't play because he is getting paid anyway.

CTE among NFL players is a huge problem for the league, the players, and their families. IMHO, this may not be an adequate solution, but it's not an overcorrection.

Seems like only concussions for colts players. Haven’t seen anything like it before.

It wont be long before the larger helmets used in training camp will be mandatory
