The Giants wide receiver was seen taking part in individual drills this morning. This indicates some progress through the concussion protocol and he could be cleared Sunday's game in Chicago. Part of the concussion protocol is to progress through activities and it is a good sign that he is starting to practice. However, you need to get through a full practice without symptoms before being seen by the independent neuro specialist to be cleared. Multiple concussions and his past setback allows the Giants to be extremely cautious with him which makes it unlikely that he will play this week. He is making good progress which gives him a chance to return next week against the Packers.
