That is bad speculation. Adams brain wasn't recovered the first time he came back after 4 days or the second time he came back after 10. Williams won't be recovered in shorter than 4 weeks (even if he can pass a very insufficientconcussion protocol).

A player who has been knocked unconscious will suffer a worse concussion than a player who didn't lose consciousness. "A player doesn't have to be knocked out to sustain a serious concussion," Hummel said. "In some cases, individuals who are knocked out may suffer less severe trauma. In either case, the severity of the concussion might not be known for days or weeks."

The harder someone is hit, the worse the concussion. "It doesn't always take a big hit to produce a concussion," Hummel said. "Any contact to the head or body that causes rapid head movement can cause a concussion. It's also important to point out that several lower impacts over time might be more serious than a single collision of great force. For example, offensive linemen in football, who experience contact on almost every play, could be more at risk for permanent brain damage than a wide receiver who absorbs a single hard hit once or twice a game."

A grade-one concussion is less serious than one that's a grade-three. "We used to grade concussions during the initial diagnosis, but we no longer do that because we now know it's difficult to accurately assess the severity of a concussion right away," Hummel said. "We have to wait and see how the symptoms resolve over time before we can determine how significant the concussion is or is not."

•Concussions should be treated and managed on an individual basis. "The brain is an incredibly complex organ, and so are the neurochemical processes that govern it," Hummel said. "No two concussions are exactly alike anymore than the brains of any two individuals are identical. Concussion management begins by obtaining individual baseline (pre-injury) testing for each athlete. Once a concussion occurs you will then know what is 'normal' for that athlete. Once the athlete has become symptom-free and is back to his or her baseline test scores, a progressive return to play plan should be followed. This progression should consist of rest, light exercise, noncontact drills and then full practice before returning to game competition. Each level of recovery should take 24 hours. An athlete has to continue being symptom-free to proceed to the next level."

 

@HokieHigh  Just some things that you might want to consider.
