Don't see him on the NFL.com injury report

Thank the maker...I don't want any excuses this time.

Frankly, I don't see how a guy can get a concussion on Sunday and not be listed on the injury report, even as "Probable". Another example of the big joke that the injury report has become to coaches.

Is is not illegal to "lead with head" even if you don't hit the guy with your helmet? I thought they changed that rule recently. I thought it was a clean hit except for the defender leading with his head.

I agree, I don’t think Russell tried to lead with his head but his helmet did catch Johnson under the chin.No flag but a fine for helmet to helmet.

I hope I have Deja Vu on Sunday, I'll be at the game....

When are fines announced, because so far I haven't heard of one.Edit:

"ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported there will be no fine stemming from Russell's hit on Johnson as it was determined that Russell did not lead with his helmet."

Legal hit.
