Teddy Bridgewater Takes Nasty Hit On Thursday
4 years agoCarolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater took a shot to the head as he fell to the ground against the Falcons in the third quarter on Thursday night after being tripped while trying to scramble. The good news is that he jogged off the field unassisted to be checked out in the medical tent on the sidelines Obviously, the first concern after a hit to the head is a concussion. Bridgewater's head abruptly twisted to the side and he went into the medical tent shortly thereafter. The Panthers backup on Thursday is XFL sweetheart P.J. Walker. If Bridgewater indeed suffered a concussion, he'll need to pass the league's protocol in order to be cleared to play in Week 9 against the Chiefs. Before leaving, Bridgewater had gone 10-for-15 for 112 yards and a touchdown while rushing the ball three times for 22 yards.
