A source close to the Florida Gators has told the Orlando Sentinel that quarterback Tim Tebow is doing “much better, ahead of schedule” in his recovery from a concussion sustained last Saturday against the Kentucky Wildcats.
Just minutes ago, the University of Florida released the following statement:
“Tim continues to rest and recover. He also undergoes daily testing and we continue to monitor the resolution of his symptoms.”
Tebow will not return to action until he is asymptomatic for seven consecutive days. After telling the press that he was still suffering headaches on Tuesday, Meyer said Tebow looked “terrific” Wednesday but did not specify whether or not he was suffering any post-concussion symptoms. If Tebow was “terrific” on Wednesday and “ahead of schedule” on Thursday, one may be led to believe that his symptoms have passed. However, should Tebow suffer any symptoms again, the seven-day rest period would start over, thus rendering him inactive for next Saturday’s game against the LSU Tigers.
UPDATE: According to SportsCenter on ESPN, Meyer said Thursday that Tebow could be cleared to read the playbook and watch game film as early as the afternoon. It is unknown whether or not he did so. Since suffering his concussion, Tebow has neither read nor watched television.
OGGOA will stay on top of this story and provide the latest updates on Tebow’s condition as they become available.
