Now all he needs to do is be symptom free tomorrow and he’s good to go

Is there anything stopping him from already getting a different/few independent neurologists to be able to give him an idea if he really will/would be cleared, before he actually officially is?Now all he needs to do is be symptom free tomorrow and he’s good to go
The Eagles 100% to me are dragging this out intentionally IMO, so I'm curious if its possible they already "knew" but since it wasn't official, wouldn't need to report anything. I know the concussion rules as far as 'how early' you need to report are sort of vague and I'm pretty sure they are taking advantage of a rule, a la the way they do the Tush Push.

You have to practice and the get tested and be at your baseline after practicing.

For sure, I get that is the protocol. But my Q is more like "Can we just go to his personal DR and say "hey I had a concussion, but am I ok now" without ya know the team "knowing" but knowing.Is there anything stopping him from already getting a different/few independent neurologists to be able to give him an idea if he really will/would be cleared, before he actually officially is?Now all he needs to do is be symptom free tomorrow and he’s good to go

Phase 1: The player is prescribed rest, limiting or, if necessary, avoiding activities (both physical and cognitive) which increase or aggravate symptoms. Under athletic training staff supervision, limited stretching and balance training can be introduced, progressing to light aerobic exercise, all as tolerated.
Phase 2: Under direct oversight of the team’s medical staff, the player should begin graduated cardiovascular exercise and may also engage in dynamic stretching and balance training. Neurocognitive and balance testing can be administered after completion of Phase Two and the results should be interpreted as back to baseline
Phase 3: The player continues with supervised cardiovascular exercises that are increased and may mimic sport-specific activities, and supervised strength training is introduced. The player is allowed to practice with the team in sport-specific exercise for 30 minutes or less with ongoing and careful monitoring of the Protocol. [When Hurts was doing mental reps during the walkthrough last week]
Phase 4: The player continues cardiovascular, strength and balance training, team-based sports-specific exercise, and participates in non-contact football activities (e.g. throwing, catching, running, and other position-specific activities). Neurocognitive and balance testing should be completed no later than the end of Phase Four with the results interpreted as back to baseline. [Where Hurts is right now (assume this since I don't know what his participation was at practice)]
Phase 5: Upon clearance by the Club physician for full football activity involving contact, the player must be examined by the Independent Neurological Consultant (INC) assigned to his Club. If the INC concurs with the Club physician that the player’s concussion has resolved, he may participate in his Club’s next practice or game.

I may be going to the Eagles game this weekend. For the first time since I've been a STH, my playoff tickets aren't selling.

Believe me, I'm trying but, I can't bring myself to feel bad or sad for you.

That’s hard to believe. If you don’t mind generally more curious were you asking for face value or a little more? Hard to believe you couldn’t sell them
The Noid
Avoid me!
I noticed the team has been releasing a lot of upper level playoff tickets the last couple of days and pricing them at the lowest resale prices, so that's been deflating the overall prices. The freezing cold (and still slight chance of snow) isn't helping, either.

Bought them for $200 a piece, asking $350 a piece. I sell my regular season seats for some games for upwards of $450 a piece (those I get for about $125 face).
Snotbubbles
Footballguy
I'm Mezzanine, they're the best seats, no wait for restrooms or concessions. Very visitor team friendly. Perfect view of the game, not too high, not too low.
The Noid

My guess is that at the public on-sale after they clinched the dynamic pricing the team used had most of the tickets, including the lowest "get-in" ones, priced too high. That left the team with a bunch to unload this week and by the time they lowered prices demand dried up and the cold weather kept some buyers away. So they've been releasing more and lowering them all week and the STH's trying to sell had to keep going lower or risk getting stuck with them. The more people that get in at the bottom prices, the less demand there is for the mid and high priced seats, so those come down, too.
Mezzanine tickets are as low as $220 each (basically break-even after seller fees, for STHs), and there's lower level (EZ) seats already at $250 each. With the $180/each price the Eagles are listing upper levels at, STHs in those sections have to sell them for $170-175 which is a slight loss ($157 cost) to make sure they they don't get stuck with them.

I have offers to sell at lower than what I have them listed at, but after fees I'd lose money so I'd rather just go see the game.

This isn’t their call at all. Had last week been a normal week (without resting players) he would have been cleared last week. All signs point to him being good to go tomorrow
Terpman22

I hear you, but...isn't them resting starters and thus not having to clear him....their call?

Not sure but i am sure he prob already has like 10 friends on our team

Technically yes. Because he didn’t have a chance to practice because they were resting their starters it just pushed it back a week. As you know a lot of the team didn’t practice.

maybe last week but not this week. the final step can't be cleared until the day AFTER the first full practice logged by the player. No reason for any of those last week if they planned/determined they weren't gonna play him against the Giants regardless, and this morning would be the first chance this week to technically clear him. NO reason to push it either as it left outsiders with at least a smidgeon of a doubtIs there anything stopping him from already getting a different/few independent neurologists to be able to give him an idea if he really will/would be cleared, before he actually officially is?Now all he needs to do is be symptom free tomorrow and he’s good to go

I think it's probably also as simple as it meant he could skip all the usual media availability requirements the last couple weeks.

I think Jordan Love is more banged up then the Packers are letting on. I don't think he's going to be 100% for Sunday.
The Noid

This is a late season strategy they have done for awhile. Probably has something to do with playoff rosters or practice squad call-ups resetting, so there's roster space/maneuvering on the 53 they are trying to take advantage of to take a flyer on a cost-controlled player with potential for next season. It's how we got Boston Scott.

He couldnt beat us when he was 100% on the road in week one.

AJ did not practice today, after leaving practice early yesterday. Reportedly it’s the same knee that’s been bugging him the last 4 weeks.
I suspect he’ll play, but won’t be near 100%

Could see as an open tryout for next year plus better safety depth if someone goes down. Really liked him out of college but riddled with injuries.

Love that Baun got the spot. Jalen Carter not being named an All Pro is a snub. Dude is a monster.

AJ Brown, Mailata, Lane Johnson and Jalen Carter got the 2nd team.

Up to 5.5 already

Yeah with Jalen a go I’d expect this game to settle in at +6.5.

Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol and will play against the Packers on Sunday, head coach Nick Sirianni announced.

I think I said when we signed Baun he’d be a steal in FA. I really liked him at Wisconsin and just playing out of position in NO which isn’t a shocker.

Lane puts side by side comparison of him and Sewell at RT and it’s not even close.
Unfortunately some poor soul on the GB defense is about to to an *** kicking they don’t deserve Sunday

How big of a deal is it for the Eagles not getting the bye and having to play in the Wild Card round?
WC round all-time: 8-11, including losing 6 of the last 7.
When avoiding the WC round: 6-1 in the divisional round, winning the last 6 straight with 4 Super Bowl appearances.

Plenty of time. All you do is detract from the product they’re able to put on the field. I hate when this is going on, and it seems there are enough vacancies every year that the top teams are not only in the process of getting their best guys poached, but it interferes with the goal of the team they’re on at that point. It just . . . it makes no sense.
