Brandin Cooks Never Considered Retirement 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Nov 22, 2019 2:26 pm

Brandin Cooks says he never considered retirement despite suffering two concussions over a 25-day period.

The Los Angeles Rams cleared the concussion protocol on Thursday and is expected to return to the field Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens

\"To be able to come back out here with the guys and prep for another game, I don\'t take that for granted,\" said Cooks, who has missed L.A.\'s last two games.

Cooks has suffered five known concussions in his six-year career.

That’s not really that many,
Like I know that’s only counting symptomatic concussions which are generally major ones.

But there are guys in the NRL who have had 6 in a year before and not retired...

It’s dangerous, and the ones we don’t know about hurt to, but at the end of the day it is part of the game, and they know that going in,
They will have a point they won’t pass, but I don’t think many 25yos thinking bout the line just yet.
After your first, you change, you mature, you dont just jump into things.

After getting dunked on for the first time, life becomes complex.
