On a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Florida Gators head coach Urban Meyer divulged a little additional information about the status of quarterback Tim Tebow following his concussion.
Meyer stated he was aware of the “grade” of Tebow’s concussion but did not want to share that information publicly (nor should he). [Note: it is widely believed Tebow suffered a Grade II or III concussion.] Additionally, Meyer said he was told after Tuesday’s practice to game plan for Saturday night at No. 4 LSU Tigers “as if there’s a chance Tim could play,” but “there’s [also] a chance he won’t play.” Meyer added that is “going to be pretty much the response until the foot hits the ball.”
Meyer said Tuesday he is planning to give Tebow some chest contact during practice on Wednesday as long as he is cleared.
Former NFL quarterback Gary Danielson, who will be covering the game for CBS as an analyst, believes this is all for naught as he does not see Tebow playing on Saturday. “I just think he’s missed too much time. I think he’s too important long-term to the team.”
