It will be interesting to see if New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis plays on Sunday after suffering a concussion in the season opener against the Buffalo Bills. Unlike other injuries, the decision to play will be out of his hands and Coach Rex Ryan.
The new guidelines for concussions require Revise to take a series of cognitive tests where he must score as well as he did when he took the baseline exam during preseason. He must also be cleared by the team doctor and by an independent neurological consultant. The league is tyring to take the "warrior" mentality away from the players when it comes to head injuries.
His results will be watched closely around the league. Revis insisted that he only had a "mild" concussion, whatever that means. Like most players, he has probably lost count on how many he as experienced in his career.
