boyst Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 @ChrisBrownBills: Corey Graham out here participating in practice. We'll find out how extensive his work is post practice. #Bills At the least it could just be dressing him, having him go on the field and letting reports leak out that he's practicing as propaganda.
John from Riverside Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Just make sure bills....its a big game but we need Corey healthy for the long haul
Andrew Son Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Maybe we should have him sit out until we have a tough opponent
26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Maybe we should have him sit out until we have a tough opponent Good one!
FLFan Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 That's good news. If he had not passed the concussion protocol, he would not be out there. I am sure he will be reevaluated after activity today to make sure there are no further issues, but a very positive sign.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 @ChrisBrownBills Corey Graham, Percy Harvin updates http://wp.me/plmrg-bEh @ChrisBrownBills Graham: I'm feeling good. I definitely see myself playing Sun, but U kno how it is w/the NFL protocol. U got to go thru the steps. #Bills
26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Corey Graham: "Getting better and better" (1:57) Bills safety Corey Graham talks about going through the concussion protocol, if he'll be ready to go on Sunday against the Patriots, and the challenge of covering tight end Rob Gronkowski.
TakeYouToTasker Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 To be honest, I'd rather see him sit. A game, even against the Patriots, even a Super Bowl, is not worth the possible down side and later life impacts. The most important thing is for Graham to be 100% well, as if the hit never happened.
beerme1 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Saw him last on a newscast and I swear his eyes rolled back in his head once. Maybe that's just a thing for him. He spoke clearly and seemed all there. I think even with the concussion protocol they have no idea what is happening to a guy long term. I hope Corey is alright. He seems like a solid guy.
eball Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 In case anyone was wondering (like I was), here's what I found regarding the specific steps of the NFL's concussion protocol: --------------- The NFL’s concussion protocol consists of a three-step process that a player must go through before being cleared to return. There is no specific timetable listed, as “each player and each concussion is unique,” the protocol states. A look at the three steps: ▪ After a period of rest and recovery, a player must return to his baseline status in a neurological exam. The baseline is determined during a neurological exam that is given to every player as part of his preseason physical. ▪ A gradual exercise program begins when the player returns to baseline. The player starts with light aerobic activities, such as riding a stationary bike, before being able to resume weight training and, later, participating in non-contact drills at practice. The progression is stopped if the player experiences a re-occurrence of symptoms. ▪ Before being allowed to play in games, the player must be cleared by not only the team’s medical staff, but an independent neurological consultant. --------------- If Corey was at practice yesterday then obviously step 1 was reached. If he participated in non-contact drills at practice and didn't experience a relapse last night or today, I'd say the chances of him playing on Sunday are pretty good.
YoloinOhio Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 @MatthewFairburn: Corey Graham has been cleared to play for the Bills on Sunday.
Lurker Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 @MatthewFairburn: Corey Graham has been cleared to play for the Bills on Sunday. Excellent. His veteran leadership should help out a lot...
Chandler#81 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 @MatthewFairburn: Corey Graham has been cleared to play for the Bills on Sunday. Great news! I wonder if he'll be rockin' the Kelso Kazoo crown..
LB3 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Excellent. His veteran leadership should help out a lot... Not having Rambo in coverage should help even more. He blew quite a few assignments last game, not something I want to see against Brady, especially with communication being tough for the D with the crowd noise.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Corey Graham and Harvin both listed as FP for today and "probable" for Sunday.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Now all we need is some great news about McCoy.
