St-Juste and McKissic both in the concussion protocol. Believe this is the 3rd time already for St-Juste which doesn’t bode well. He may have a very short career.
Curious, wouldn’t they ensure he has the thickest/safest helmet after the 1st one? Seems odd that some players are way more susceptible getting them than others.
It’s not so much that any player is more initially susceptible, it’s that once you’ve had 1 or 2, you are more prone to get re-concussed. It’s like heat stroke or exhaustion that way. Not 100% sure why that seems to be the case?
Gotcha. Hopefully the staff, trainers & league are looking into prevention. With as much money the league has made, one would think that putting a portion towards the most protective helmet ever into production would be a high priority.
My opinion - if his injuries end his season in 2021 but are easily recovered from to start 2022 - that is a much preferred outcome. I would be extremely thankful for that. If he can play again in 2021, that would be a dream, but I'm just hoping whatever the injuries are they don't put next season in question.
