ASHBURN, Va.
Martin Hanzal Coyotes Jersey Authentic . --
London Fletcher says he gets his bell rung perhaps twice a game. Hes played in
240 games in a row, not counting preseason and playoffs. Do the math, and it
adds up. The Washington Redskins linebacker has seen a lot of stars. "I play
inside linebacker and I like to play it physical," Fletcher said Thursday. "So,
I dont know, it can happen a couple of times a game, but I wouldnt classify them
as concussions; theyre just, you know, bell-ringing. Youll see stars for a
second, and then youre back to normal in two, three seconds, whatever the case
may be. Thats just the way the game is." The 38-year-old Fletcher, who has never
missed a game in 16 NFL seasons, is decidedly old-school. In a profile in this
weeks issue of Sports Illustrated, he reveals that he suffered a concussion last
preseason that he and the team kept secret from the public. "Im not going to
tell an opponent about anything that Ive got going on, so its just the way I
am," Fletcher told reporters in the Redskins locker room. "You play football,
you have things that bother you all the time. If I go around telling you all
everything thats bothering me, youd be writing a story every day." So what was
suspected was true. When coach Mike Shanahan said Fletcher was "not feeling
right" and kept evading follow-up questions, it turned out that the linebacker
did get a concussion when he was hit by a teammate while defending a pass in the
preseason opener in August 2012 against the Buffalo Bills. Fletcher stayed in
the game a few more plays before telling trainers he was feeling dizzy, and he
missed the next preseason game. Asked why he didnt reveal Fletchers concussion,
Shanahan said: "I dont remember, to be honest with you. Ive got a hard enough
time thinking about what it was last week with injuries, yet a year ago." Teams
are not required to issue regular injury reports during preseason. Still, had
the injury occurred in September instead of August, Fletcher wouldnt now hold
the longest active consecutive games streak in the league. "If I had suffered
the concussion in a regular season game, I would not have been able to play that
following week," he said. What Fletcher didnt tell the trainers was that he was
dealing with a byproduct from the concussion well into the regular season. He
was over the actual concussion, but something still wasnt right with his head.
"It wasnt a situation where I was all wobbly or anything like that," Fletcher
said. "Its just every now and then I would maybe have a little sway. I would
notice it. Nobody else would notice it. So I never told the team about that." It
wasnt until he had a hamstring injury in October that Fletcher told the team
about his "balance" issues. It turned out to be problem in his neck that was
resolved easily. Fletcher hadnt been his usual self up until then, and once the
problem was treated he had a strong second half and was named second-team
All-Pro. "I think players sometimes go running to the training room too much,"
Fletcher said. "You get a hangnail, you go run to the trainer. You get a
sprained finger, you go running to the trainer, things like that. For me, Im
just of the mentality, if you can go out and play, you dont need to run to the
training room about every little thing thats going on. "Obviously, looking back,
I shouldve told the team about that part of it a lot sooner because it was
something that was taken care of immediately. Thats the only regret I have about
the situation." Fletchers comments about regular "bell-ringing" are sure to add
the growing debate surrounding football safety. Experts have tried to educate
coaches and players that "getting your bell rung" is not something to be
ignored. That only works, however, if the player reports it or a coach or
teammate notices it. "I remember a number of quarterbacks come to the sideline,
and you knew there was something wrong," Shanahan said. "And you give the old
1-2-3 finger test and they go back out there. Times have changed, and education
has changed for the right reason." Fletcher said he hasnt "taken the time" to
count all of his concussions, including maybe one or two hes had while playing
pickup basketball. Hes fully aware of concussion-related lawsuits filed by
former NFL players, so he knows what hes up against once hes retired. "I signed
up for this," he said. "Nobody makes me play this game." Notes: Robert Griffin
III (right knee surgery) had his second full practice in a row, still
progressing toward a target of playing in the regular season opener Sept. 9. "He
was able to get a lot more reps," offensive co-ordinator Kyle Shanahan said.
"And do some that werent totally scripted." ... With QB Kirk Cousins recovering
from a sprained right foot, Mike Shanahan said Rex Grossman and Pat White will
probably each play a half Saturday against the Bills.
