Nabers still in the early stages of the concussion protocol

[todge]

I respect what you're saying, but my counterpoint to this is simply why is a coach in a better position to make the judgment of what is best for his health than the doctors?

If it is more dangerous than normal to Nabers to play this weekend I am 100% for him not playing. That's not in question.

But if the doctors do not give him that label, and he himself wants to play, then I just don't see why a coach should make an executive decision to deny him the ability to play. Why is the coach better qualified to come up with his prognosis of being sidelined than a doctor?

Nabers is pretty much the best player on the team, and this is a must-win game. Those are not legitimate reasons to play him if he is borderline, but they are realities to keep in mind for anyone who wants to sit him just because, even when the doctors are saying he's good to go.

It's not the coaches or player's decision. The NFL has a five step protocol that must be passed before he is cleared to play by the league.
