Josh Downs Out With A Concussion

[ChaosTheory]

They won't say it until last minute, but he'll miss the Chargers game. Same with Ward.

Ashton Dulin also not practicing with a chest injury. Fuck.

Yeah, with Ward's concussions so close together, I doubt the Colts will rush him through the protocol.

Same thing happened with Ryan Kelly this year. After the second concussion, the Vikings placed Kelly on IR and he will be out a minimum of 4 games.

Of course, people will react differently and the symptoms could be worse based on the total number of concussions the player has had in their career.

Downs took a nasty helmet to helmet hit on that last drive. I was surprised he popped right up after that.

I’m not surprised at all that he got concussed.

He’s so small, no need to rush him back. Let him heal.

Yeah, Gould and Dulin. Fuck AD, he can ride the bench!

Ah, you're right. I completely forgot, but I remember he got up weird and I was surprised they didn't take him to the blue tent. Good call.

Dulin is also on the injury report. He was DnP yesterday, listed as chest. Not sure what that is, pec injury? Hopefully he can play

Brain nothing to take chances with. Let them sit and get healthy. We will need them to be healthy in January and their families need them to be healthy way beyond that.

Not getting that people want to throw AD away over a fuck up. Have you read things I haven't? Everything I read and hear about the guy is that he is a hard worker, a good teammate and not a troublemaker. He made a mistake and paid for it. Move on. I'm betting the team has.

I don't want him thrown away, personally. I've said time after time that I keep getting excited for him to reach his potential because he'd be elite. I also don't like bailing on guys, especially young ones.

That said, his personal redemption arc cannot come at the cost of the team. He fucked the the LAR game up. I don't have a grudge with him, I just don't want the team to expose a liability. I don't think he's a bad dude, but pretty immature (or possibly just dumb).

16 is tough as nails. He'll play.
