The team needs to be very cautious about playing him- better they lose this game than risk serious injury.

Head injuries are so hard to really tell. Stroud's hit was significantly more violent though, he couldn't even get himself off the ground. Just from the severity of the hit I'm not surprised about Stroud at all.

Yeah Brock had one mid-game. Finished the game, entered protocol after like Trevor, and played the following week. Was cleared on Saturday I believe

Trevor was in the building today. Stroud looks to have a really bad one.

Bodes well for him playing this Sunday. I looked at Purdy's concussion against the Vikings just now. His occurred during a QB sneak play and it looks like he took it a little bit more directly and to the crown of the helmet. 

Stroud's and Lawrence's were pretty bad though. Getting whipped to the ground like that and hitting your head hard doesn't feel good. I had an incident about eleven years ago. 

I was visiting my Mom and Dad's on gameday one Sunday, I brought my then puppy over at the time (still have him, he's an old man now), I was playing with him and he snipped me pretty good on my finger, deep enough to where it wouldn't stop bleeding. Long story short, I started running cold water over it in my Mom's kitchen sink.

From there, felt a cold rush, a chill begin to creep up my arm and then I blacked out. I fell backwards, landed on the back of my head on the kitchen tile. I don't remember much after that. I was out for a few seconds. My younger brother was freaking out, he told me later I was having a seizure, my Dad jumped out of the shower to slap me a few times on the face to wake me up. 

I felt good though while I was out. Felt like I was on a cloud and floating down the Nile River to be honest with you. LOL. My Dad told me not to take a nap or fall asleep. I just laid on the couch and he kept making sure I didn't pass out. I was fine though, able to leave for home a few hours later after the game. 

But, those head injuries are tricky. Have a ton of respect for these players and fighters.
