Let's hope he's fine for week 4.

Just in time for him to get injured again.

I don't know what the medical research says about concussions, but I've got plenty of anecdotal experience with concussions having been involved in combat sports(Muay thai+boxing) and football my entire life. I've seen a f**k ton of people get KTFO, including my brother. This is what I know about concussions:

-Concussions don't "heal." The symptoms go away, but the damage incurred to the brain doesn't go away b/c:
-Concussion sensitivity increases with each concussion sustained. Simply put, each concussion suffered greatly increases the risk of another concussion occurring, also known as the glass chin effect.

Reuben has had a lot of concussions dating back to high school. I'm fearful that he's incurred too much brain damage already. It's going to be tough to keep him on the field.

Thanks?

I hear this.

I hope Reuben can find a way to stay on the field because he and Warner could be the next great 49ers LB tandem.

Seriously, he's a special special player but if he can't stay on the field esp. b/c of concussions, it'll be an absolute shame.

Is this not his first diagnosed concussion..? Why are all the knickers in a bunch

There's an extensive history in the Reuben Foster draft forum thread, but here a few. Check out the dates on these. Keep in mind these are just the "documented" ones aka the ones the trainers happened to catch

End of 3rd quarter 21-20 West team up. Hearing that Troup Co. LB Reuben Foster is out with concussion-like symptoms. #RisingSeniors.

Told a couple of days ago that #Bama LB Reuben Foster gave himself a concussion in camp by hitting Alvin Kamara so hard. He'll play a lot

Nick Saban says Reuben Foster had a "slight concussion" after a collision in the A-Day game.

— Cecil Hurt (@CecilHurt) April 22, 2014

Saban said Joshua Jacobs injured a nerve in his elbow but was cleared to return. Reuben Foster and Alphonse Taylor sustained concussions.

I've been told Reuben Foster suffered concussions while at Alabama and that his recovery time was a concern.

It's certainly a concern. He is playing a LB position. I would think more prone to concussions than any other positions on defense.

Hes working on tackling a new way, I hope it works

So, Eric Ried 2.0...

f**k the SEC. at least the BIG 10,12 and PAC 12 try to teach these kids not to scramble their brains. SEC is a flipping meat grinder and their product seems to be the less damaged remains.

SEC is flipping s**t. F the kids and adulate the trailer park.

Respect the heck out of this guy for his Football skills, but I'm starting to think he's going to have a very short career in the NFL.

Concussions add up and are easier to get with each additional incident.
