Warner And Roethlisberger To Play Sunday
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner made it through two full practices on on Wednesday and Thursday. 

After sustaining a "concussion-like" symptom (whatever that means) from a blow to the head last week's game against St. Louis, Warner was able to pass the necessary mental tests needed to be considered available to play.

Warner is expected to play this Sunday at Tennessee.

Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sustained his own concussion last week against the Chiefs from a blow to the head.  Roethlisberger practiced in full on Wednesday and will play in a big rivalry game against the Ravens.

This is 'Big' Bens fourth concussion since entering the NFL and is not even taking a week off from the blow he took from Chiefs' linebacker Derrick Johnson's knee last Sunday.  Roethlisberger was also able to pass all mental tests needed to be given the 'green light' to play.  So apparently, the team is not too worried about his health.

You have to wonder if these two teams weren't in the middle of a playoff race at the end of the season, would they be permitted to play?

The only team in the NFL that uses a physical clinical protocol in the return to play or pre season evaluation of players is the N.E. Patriots. Rothlisbergers baseline is subjective, his mental status will not tell anyone how susceptible he is to his next concussion. His jaw break three years ago, is an indication he should be individually evaluated and fit with a corrective mouth guard made from a hard acrylic lower jaw appliance biomaterial. It has been published in the Academy of Sports Dentistry's referring journal, not having this medical device or occlusal splint, may be his, and others, Achilles heel. Why do some players become more prone to concussion than others, the "Boxers Glass" jaw is the only comparable scenario that may shed light on connection to physical diagnosable traits and one being prone. CTE located in retired NFL players medial temporal lobe has only been clinically found in boxers. A coincidence, maybe, limiting the possibility of trauma to this location of the temporal lobe makes sense. Why not? www.mahercor.com
