esoomer 118 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I like the part where he says he's ready to play, should just be a matter of time, hope the few weeks off gave his legs time to rest. Devonta Freeman remains in the concussion protocol. ESPN Falcons reporter Vaughn McClure reports Freeman "feels ready to play," but the team is going to let the process play out. (Not that they have a choice.) This is Freeman's second concussion in the past four months. Tevin Coleman handled 21 touches against the Seahawks with Freeman out.

ragrag 1,494 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Really just want him full-go in the semis W15 vs TB. If he goes this weekend he's probably on a snap count & would be hard to trust. W13 they get MIN and I wouldn't start any RB vs MIN not named Bell or Gurley.

Concussion is an all-or-nothing type clearance, either he's playing close to full snaps or not at all. For what it's worth though I agree, I'd rather just have him full-bore in times for the playoffs. Edited November 22, 2017 by mverkruyse Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJoint 4,181 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Why are they rushing this chump back? What has he done this year when he wasn't brain-damaged. he's been terrible this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vmo1059 516 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Lets see how things play out through the weekend. I wouldn't be so positive that he is playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USWAY 366 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) This is the same Dr. Chao who just analyzes things from his own experience as a Dr. He has no inside team info. He also said David Johnson would be back by Thanksgiving. I think the Falcons are treating Freeman with kid gloves, as they should. He's progressing but no sure thing he plays, and they will probably hold him out an extra week. Edited November 24, 2017 by USWAY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stage 5 is full participation. It’s likely he plays Sunday if there were no setbacks from practice today. I think he goes. http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2017/02/here_is_the_nfls_concussion_pr.html Edited November 24, 2017 by ree10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vmo1059 516 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Quote RB Devonta Freeman stood and watched as the Falcons began full-team drills with Tevin Coleman up first and Terron Ward behind -- another indication that Freeman's not yet ready to go while in concussion protocol. Still wearing black jersey and not cleared for contact yet. Freeman missed last week's game at Seattle. Vaughn McClure, ESPN Staff Writer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Impreza178 6,046 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Thanks for the updates gametime decision it’s looking like. They can be cleared all the way until Saturday evening I believe. I’m playing him if he’s active- no question Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To go from mainly watching practice on Thurs and Friday to playing in Sunday would be very surprising. Seems more doubtful than questionable.

USWAY 366 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 They always said it was most likely going to be a multi-week absence. They just paid the guy a ton of money. Rushing him back too quickly could be devastating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patsgofor6 182 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Dr. Chao....wrong again. People really need to stop referencing him in this forum. He basically got banished from the league for poor outcomes with accusations of malpractice and is trying to do anything to stay relevant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
