    Wasn't really sure what to call this, but thought it deserved it's own thread.

    Missing practice: Troy, Gilbert, Dwyer, Woodley, Sylvester.
    Limited: Mendenhall, B. Batch (shin)
    Full Participants: Clark (concussion), Redman

    Dwyer said he expects to practice Thursday.

    Redman says he has been battling high ankle sprain. "It's sore, but now I'm at the point where I can play through it".

    Ryan Clark said he passed his first concussion test this morning. Today's practice was the second test. Clark said Sunday's concussion was the first of his career.

    Max Starks was passing out cigars today. His first child, a girl, was born yesterday.

    The most remarkable thing about this post is that Clark said this is the FIRST concussion of his career! With the physical brand of football that he plays, I would have thought he would have had a concussion or two.

    Any word on Ben and Ashley's boy's date? I just knew that it could happen at some point during the season and now that we are at the halfway mark it must be getting pretty close.

    You tend to get fewer or no concussions when you're the one causing the impact. You're braced for it and you're choosing the timing, angle, etc. Majority of any concussions Clark would ever receive is if another defender comes in from point B and makes contact with him as he's hitting his target.
