The New York Jets' coaching staff may not have known Jason Witten Womens Jersey Greg McElroy had been experiencing the symptoms of a concussion this week, but his teammates did.According to several players McElroy confided in, the quarterback had been wrestling for days with the decision to tell the Jets of his symptoms.On Christmas night, McElroy came to visit wide receiver Clyde Gates in the hotel where they stay during the season. Gates had been diagnosed with a concussion earlier in the season, and listened to McElroy's concerns."He came to my room and we talked about it," Gates told ESPN NewYork. "He was hurting real bad. I was like, 'Bro, I know, I've been down that road already. I'm just saying you can't try to tough it out cause you going to end up hurting yourself, you've got to let everybody know how you really feel.'"Left guard Matt Slauson Jason Witten Elite Jersey was also aware of McElroy's condition."He definitely has that (warrior) mentality, but it got to the point where it was scaring him," Slauson said.Slauson revealed to ESPNNewYork.com that he, like McElroy, had a concussion in either 2010 or 2011 that he didn't report to the Jets, and another in his senior season at Nebraska. Of the more recent one, Slauson said he got through it on his own."I didn't feel like it warranted (being reported)," Slauson said. "I was in bad shape, but I could focus on my plays. I figured I'd pop a couple of aspirin and be fine."After experiencing headaches during his morning lift at the Jets facility, McElroy finally approached Jets trainers with his symptoms. Coach Rex Ryan immediately decided McElroy will not start when the Jets travel to Buffalo for the Dez Bryant Womens Jersey final game of the season. In McElroy's place, Ryan again passed over Tim Tebow and went back to starter Mark Sanchez, who was benched after throwing four interceptions in Tennessee on Dec. 17.Tebow, whose frustration spilled out in a conversation with Ryan last week after McElroy was tapped to replace Sanchez, said Thursday he understood the decision and would do anything he could to help the team. Notably, wide receiver Jeremy Kerley, who replaced Tebow last week in the Wildcat, has also been practicing in that spot this week.Tebow said he could tell something wasn't right with McElroy even before the presumed starter was missing from the morning quarterback meeting."He didn't look exactly right at the beginning of the day," Tebow said. "So it wasn't long when he heard he went to the trainers and Dez Bryant Elite Jersey we heard what happened."Ryan said McElroy should have been honest with the trainers about his condition, but seemed to understand that McElroy didn't want to give up a starting opportunity in a league where they don't come easily. Gates said that was probably a consideration for McElroy."It probably was a little pressure," Gates said. "I don't blame him, the position he was in, to start another game, any competitive player would've been like, 'I'm going to shake it off and make it work.' But still you got to be smart about it. I feel him though, I understand how he feels, but you can't go against a concussion injury."Ryan said "players need to be honest" given all the medical information about concussions available. Research shows that sustaining additional concussions before the brain heals is DeMarcus Ware Womens Jersey more damaging to a player. Ryan said he hoped that this would remind players to be truthful with trainers."I think hopefully this will be an example to all the players," Ryan said. "Because the worst thing that could've happened is he would've gone out there with nobody knowing how he really felt and hurt himself."One of the reasons a player might not report is not being sure that what they are feeling is due to a brain injury. Safety Eric Smith sustained more than one concussion in 2008, including during a helmet-to-helmet hit with then-Cardinal Anquan Boldin."It affects everybody differently," Smith said. "One time it might be memory and motor skills. You never really know with a concussion. That's the problem with them, you don't really know how to diagnose them. You may feel a DeMarcus Ware Elite Jersey little funny but just think it's from the game." Earlier this season, San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith self-reported a concussion and ultimately lost his starting job to replacement Colin Kaepernick. Tebow said that kind of information affects some players' minds when they are deciding what to report."I think some (are affected)," Tebow said. "You fight hard to earn something and you don't want to jeopardize that with an injury for sure. I think that's definitely something guys will think about."Tebow said the idea of self-reporting concussions can be difficult for a player. He admitted that even he might not have always done it perfectly at times."I'm sure there's a few times in my career where I haven't made the smartest decision," Tebow said.
