Good to see Dungey on the sidelines...

[RF2044]

...even if in street clothes.

I assume if it were a concussion, he wouldn't be on the sidelines, and would have remained in the locker room. Is that assumption correct?

When I saw the replay I was more concerned for his neck than a concussion.

 

[CIL]

Agreed...don't think it is a concussion any more. Most likely a stinger, and for those who know what I am talking about those are a bear...

It very well could be either or both

 

[OmahaCuse]

I hope for his health it's not a concussion. He sure was on the turf a long time. Looked bad on TV, so good sign he is on sideline.

 

[RF2044]

I don't think they'd risk having him on the sideline if it were a concussion--wouldn't they keep him in the locker room?

Seems irresponsible to have an impaired kid roaming around, where he could get injured worse.

Im not a doctor and dont pretend to be. Im not sure of the protocol either but you could be correct

Yeah--would be good to have somebody like cuseregular weigh in.

I would assume he wouldn't be on the sideline if he had one.

Noise and sunlight are bad for concussions.

If he's on the sidelines, it's a good thing.

To me it didn't look like the helmets actual touched dungey's more of a violent neck snapping motion

A violent neck snapping motion can cause a tbi. It results in your brain being shaken up in your skull

 

[Libero2]

Watching the replays I was worried he may have shattered his collarbone. So no sling is also a bonus IMO

If I had to guess, he just has a bad stinger, I hope its nothing more than that.

 

[#FRANchise]

I'm sitting in right next to our tunnel. He followed the team into the locker room. He looked pissed but didn't seem to be favoring anything.

 

[DocFlanders]

Poor kid is not gonna go all four years I fear...

 

[NineOneSeven]

I also didn't see any helmet to helmet. That doesn't mean the guy didn't lead with his helmet.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Agreed, 99.9% sure if it was a concussion, he would NOT be on the sideline...especially standing up, 10 feet away from the field. IMO, this is great news. I dont care if we get beat by 80 today, as long as Dungey is not concussed, and can return next week...that is the best we could hope for in this game.

 

[Grabberorang]

He mustn't have any symptoms for them to have him out there like that. Sound has got to be defining and it's pretty darn sunny.

This is true

Having had a couple pretty good ones in college I can vouch they suck. That's my guess as well. I know my worst one I couldn't move either arm till I got off the field. It looked like ED tried to get up but couldn't. I'm again guessing, but it could have been something similar and he couldn't use his arms to get up. I don't think they'd bring him right back out if it was a concussion with all the concussion related issues.

 

[OburgOrange]

Yeah--would be good to have somebody like cuseregular weigh in.

He's at the game

I'm pretty sure ED was sent back to his dorm after being evaluated during the CMU game. Reason to be hopeful for next week

 

[chakka3421]

Estime is injured too.

Even if it's not a concussion, it could be another injury-- stinger/ shoulder/ neck...anything. Hope he's okay but just because he's on the bench, doesn't necessarily bode well for next week. If he can't go, please let's use Mahoney.
