Cravens' Concussion Fallout (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/redskins-cravens-says-concussion-has-forced-him-to-wear-glasses-permanently-203949973.html)

Oh crap, he must have got whacked pretty good.
He may not be back for a while.
:mad:

Yup, but what he said about the glasses has been debunked already. I don't know if he was trolling for fun or what?

Can we get a link? I haven't seen or heard anything about anyone debunking this theory.

This makes me sad that we didn't sign him but at the same time I am excited to see more from Ionnuwhodunit.

There is an open PS spot right now. Could they cut someone currently on the roster tomorrow hoping he clears waivers? Then sign one of the workout guys to the roster? Stay tuned

I feel like if there was a terrible defensive team out there and they watched footage of Ionanabooboodis, and they felt like he performed solidly they would snap him up in a second. If I'm McC I'm not risking it. Plus you risk alienating your locker room demoting your homegrown guy who just got his first chance in favor of a temporary solution.

Regarding Cravens and glasses, this is from braininjuries.com:

Essentially, Concussion or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Acquired Brain Injury is an insult to the brain, such as a blow to the head, stroke, or neurological dysfunction. The insult can produce cognitive, sensory or physical impairments; most are amenable to rehabilitation.

The following is a list of symptoms of visual problems which can result from brain injuries:
Blurred vision
Sensitivity to light, glare sensitivity
Reading difficulties; words appear to move
Comprehension difficulty
Attention and concentration difficulty
Memory difficulty
Double vision
Aching eyes
Headaches with visual tasks
Inability to maintain visual contact or focus
Reduction or loss of visual field (Visual Field Loss)
Difficulties with eye movements, such as:
ocular pursuits (eye tracking ability)
saccadics (shifting gaze quickly from one point to the other)
accommodative inability (focusing)
binocular vision (eye alignment, eye teaming, depth perception, 3D vision, stereopsis)

These visual problems can be successfully decreased or eliminated with various treatments, such as:

Optometric Vision Therapy
Neuro-optometric Rehabilitation Therapy
Corrective lenses, such as prism lenses
Phototherapy programs (Syntonic Optometry, Light Therapy)

If I'm McC I'm not risking it. Plus you risk alienating your locker room demoting your homegrown guy who just got his first chance in favor of a temporary solution.

I was referring to maybe Jenkins or Phillips being cut.
