Thrill Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 From Wikipedia: “Second-impact syndrome (SIS) occurs when the brain swells rapidly, and catastrophically, after a person has a second concussion before symptoms from an earlier one have subsided. This second blow may occur minutes, days or weeks after an initial concussion,[1] and even the mildest grade of concussion can lead to second impact syndrome.[2]The condition is often fatal, and almost everyone who is not killed is severely disabled. The cause of SIS is uncertain, but it is thought that the brain's arterioles lose their ability to regulate their diameter, and therefore lose control over cerebral blood flow, causing massive cerebral edema.” This is really bad. No way he should be leaving a hospital tonight. DCTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosscut100 Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 They originally showed the hit and him staggering and collapsing from last week, There is no way he wasn't concussed. The NFL pays lip service about safety but doesn't give a shit. Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvgJoe Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 There is no way he should have been “cleared” to play last night. That’s inexcusable titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But damn, Tua may never be able to think straight again. He should sue the Dolphins. He definitely had a concussion on Sunday, and they put him back out there.

They care about giving the appearance they care about that stuff. Having said that Tua needs to walk it off It comes down on the doctors and the teams. NFL players are by nature warriors. They are not going to willingly miss a game, or not return to a game if it is something they think they can play through. Even the guys that we feel are 'fragile' constantly play through injuries that would keep most desk jockeys home. I don't think there has been a time where the Chiefs have had a guy concussed that he wasn't removed, even in the playoffs. Charles and Flowers were lost against the Colts in 2013. Kelce went down versus the Titans in 2017. Mahomes went out against the Browns in 2020. Now, granted, the Chiefs don't have the #1 training staff like the Bills, so these concussions were clearly due to their insufficiency.... but, the Chiefs put their players first and are pretty conservative when it comes to health. I am not a doctor and I certainly didn't examine Tua. That said, it certainly seems like something is off there. DecepticonShawn2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzTitan Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Even if their testing concluded he didn't need to go into the protocol after last week, that should probably tell them that the testing isn't sufficient, not that he was necessarily hunky dory. He was obviously concussed last week, how do they know for sure a 2nd one just a few days later wouldn't be catastrophic? Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OILERMAN Posted September 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I once saw a guy in the locker room at work passing a kidney stone, he was laying on the ground and his hands were all twisted up in front of his face like he had lobster claws, exactly like Tua had last night.

Popular Post heyitsmeallen Posted September 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Remember when Simmons knee hit Mahomes in the facemask last year and he was very obviously concussed. He fell down trying to walk, staggering all over the place, had a look in his eyes like he didn’t know where he was. he came right back into the game and no one in the media said anything about it. Tua was def concussed last week and they let him finish the game. He 100% shouldn’t have been playing last night.
