Was Josh Allen given the Tua "special" concussion check today?
For anyone who watched the Bills Texans game, during the 2nd half the Texans rushed Allen and he rolled out to his right.
Two Texans converged and tackled him. As Allen fell to the ground on his right side, his head smacked the ground and bounced like a super ball. He went limp and was temporarily knocked out. Then suddenly after the Texans give the ball back to the Bills, Allen is right back in there. I'm no doctor but something didn't seem right at all he looked rush to go back in. He struggled the rest of the game. I think he suffered a mild concussion at a minimum. Gonna be interesting to see how this is handled or just forgotten about. |

I'm pretty sure he had a concussion. Say what you will, but he's a tough guy and hard to hurt. I don't recall him ever just laying around to milk attention or whatever

He flops all the time. Classic YouTube video on it. But I do agree he is willing to take hits and pain. If he started down it must have been legit.

Funny thing is they still lost, despite risking their franchise QB. Karma is a bitch, McDermott.

The way his arm was dragging along the ground made it look like he was out.

I’m not sure what to think about that.
He clearly knocked his head hard af. And I’m not sure it matters how big or tough you are, humans just don’t have the biology to protect our brains from that sort of whiplash. And with the way his arms went limp briefly and he laid on the ground, I wondered if he was knocked out, even for a second or two. At the same time, there’s supposed to be an independent neuro consultant on the sidelines assessing the players. So unless the league comes out and says that the Bills defied the independent neuro guy’s tests by putting Allen back in, I will just assume he wasn’t truly concussed. .. in which case, yeah, Allen is a tough ****er. It’s crazy that Tua can get a concussion after being knocked over by a swift breeze and this dude can smack his head on turf that hard and be no more worse for wear. |

Josh Allen is going to have a raging case of CTE.
