So he gets checked out again prior to the game?

Possibly... depends on what "stage" he is in.

If he's not yet been cleared for non-contact football activities, then I doubt he sees the field Sunday.... ditto if he has been, but is subsequently showing symptoms.

Here's a good summary of the stages.

1. Rest and recovery: Step 1 involves physical and cognitive rest. According to the NFL’s return-to-participation protocol, a player must rest "until his signs and symptoms and neurologic examination, including cognitive and balance tests, return to baseline status." During this time, a player can stretch and work on his balance, but not physically push himself beyond that. Also, the NFL protocol states that during Step 1, the player should limit or avoid electronics, social media and team meetings until symptoms go away.

2. Light aerobic exercise. That means activities like riding a stationary bike, light running on a treadmill and more active stretching. Team medical personnel will gradually increase a player’s workload, but should stop activities if concussion-related symptoms resurface. On Step 2, players are also permitted to return to regular team meetings and study film.

3. More aerobic exercise and the introduction of strength training. This step builds up the player’s activity level and includes the stress and strain of weightlifting. And the protocol states that once the player has “demonstrated his ability to engage in cardiovascular exercise and supervised strength training without recurrence of signs or symptoms, he may proceed to the next step.”

4. "Football specific activities." The player can participate in non-contact drills, including throwing, catching and running. On this step, the NFL protocol says there can be no contact with other players or objects, including tackling dummies or sleds. If the player tolerates this level of activity without any recurrence of signs or symptoms, he moves to the fifth and final step.

5. Full football activity and clearance. The final step of the NFL's concussion protocol allows a player to resume practicing without any limitations. After the team physician clears the player to compete, an independent neurological consultant (INC) must examine the player. According to the protocol, the INC "must be provided a copy of all relevant reports and tests, including the player-patient’s neurocognitive tests and interpretations.” If the consultant concurs with the team physician, then the player can participate in the next game.

That's kind of a big development...

Landry's stiil in protocol...

But I heard somewhere Jarvis saying- "he felt great". But it's up to the Docs to clear him. (thanks for the detailed protocol Tour).  Also heard a blurb supposedly per Freddie if a player doesn't practice Thursday or Friday- they're not playing on Sunday. 

It would seem to mean Ward, Williams, and Landry will be out. But we welcome back Higgins and Calloway.

Ugggghhh...I want Landry out there (healthy) so badly. Just feels like he's the straw that stirs the drink, ya know? Calloway....well...I'm just not sure WHAT to expect. Could be really helpful, could have zero catches, lol. For some reason I see him either really helping or doing nothing, hahaha. Higgins on the other hand will definitely help! I hate to put so much pressure on Calloway but lord knows we need a vertical threat. I'd REALLY like to see our deep passing attack get on track. Something tells me we're going to need to score some big points for a victory. I don't see this being a low scoring affair.

He's got a knee that has been an issue all year. Its likely he won't practice much at all this year. He'll get out there on Sat and most likely will play. That's what happened vs Steelers.

[flyingfooldoug]

Higgins and Burnett are both back practicing and should be ready to play. Landry still in protocol.

Jarvis cleared protocol per MKC

That's a good source of data the NFL .com and Net are all about football.

I like ESPN also because it is a quick and easy site to copy a complete list of players and a brief write-up.

.........oh and it would be nice to see a complete and healthy Cleveland defense!

I think there are some vast defects in NFL.com.     PFR is better. 

Example:  see the number of games that  they have the Browns and 49ers playing.  They completely miss the mark apparently.

Local reports are that they will likely sit another week...... smoke screen?

I’d sit them another week, maybe two if their is any question about a hamstring getting pulled again. Hell.... it might make sense to sit them until the bye week. They pull it again coming back to soon and they might be done for the season. 

I still think Ward was dealing with it the first few games. He wasn’t able to cover or keep up with anybody.

Yep and that sums up a hamstring injury. Hard to gauge and  you worry about hitting high gear. Their backups have played well. Let em heal right
