Geathers recovery will be something to watch closely this week. Indianapolis already thin at safety after Malik Hooker's knee injury

If Geathers can't go on Sunday after the concussion, Quincy Wilson might be in the mix to step in the gap, along with George Odum and Rolan Milligan

Darius Leonard continues to make progress.....

Reich says Darius Leonard is making progress through the steps of the concussion protocol.
"It's something we're going to treat delicately and be conservative on."

What about Ebron. That Rucker had to have a concussion. He forgot how to catch the ball

Had a quick chat with Malik Hooker here in the locker room. Described the miniscus cleanup as very minor and says he’s already well into rehab. Plans to stay in Indy for rehab thru the bye week with hopes of playing vs Houston in Week 7.

I just don't see Hooker back by week 7. I could be wrong, but that would be very fast to gain game speed after surgery.

Gotta keep hope (and the ticket sales) flowing. They know there's only a slim chance of that happening, but just the chance is enough for them to put it out there.

I highly doubt there will be a significant bump up or decrease in ticket sales based on if Malik Hooker is on the field playing or not.

True, he’s not a ticket draw like Peyton Manning or Mike Doss.

Zach Keefer reporting the following are ruled OUT for Sunday:

C. Geathers
D. Leonard
P. Campbell
T. Lewis
M. Hooker

Makes me wonder what the deal is with Leonard. Missing 3+ games for a concussion? At that rate, Austin Collie would have missed several seasons. Wouldn't have had a career

Every concussion impacts people differently. I had at least two playing soccer when I was younger. After the first, I was fine about a week after. After the 2nd, it took more like 3-4 weeks.

I mean, it's basically a bruise on the brain. Sometimes bruises are less severe and they go away quickly. Sometimes they're present for several weeks.
