Question: What is the concussion protocol for hurt players?

[Tide&True]

I know Meadows and Jam were hurt against Missouri. Can they play against Tennessee?

I don't know nothing about this, but I assume there's a process they have to follow through NCAA and SEC.

They must be symptoms free for 24-48 hours before they can return to sports. So Since we played yesterday at 11am, Can they be cleared to practice by Tuesday or Wednesday? I believe you need to practice by Wednesday in order to play against Tennessee. So my guess? I don't think Meadow will play against Tennessee. Jam is unlikely to play but anything can happen.

He looked like he’d been run over by an elephant when they dragged him to the locker room.

I can’t imagine he will be able to play this weekend.

Yeah. I doubt either play Saturday. Concussions suck. I have had one. It took a couple of weeks before I passed concussion protocol

I doubt Meadows and Jam play this weekend. Concussions normally take longer than a week to pass.

If they do in fact clear the protocol, still unlikely they will play.

I hope he doesn’t for his health.
a year ago, last July . I slipped walking down the side steps on my porch and landed flat on my back. Never hit my head, but was in intense back pain. Went to the hospital, given medicine and released. No head trauma. Weeks later I was dizzy all the time , had trouble with balance, had headaches. This went on for months as I was put through all kinds of tests With no positive results. I thought I would never feel like myself ever again. I was actually losing the will to keep going. I then was referred to a neurologist in December. She diagnosed me with post concussion syndrome from my brain hitting the inside of my skull. I was treated for it and fairly quickly got back to being me . In March of this year I stopped seeing her.
I can imagine how they feel taking a direct hit like that to your head. From my personal experience I hope they take the time to heal their brain, however long that takes and don’t just rush back To playing.

I’ve had two concussions.

One from hitting my head on an old astroturf field and one from a bad car accident.

And my brain was like scrambled eggs for a week after each.

It‘s a serious injury.
