Brandon confirmed that Morris was diagnosed on Sunday with a “probable, mild concussion” and a high ankle sprain. That contradicted a statement Monday by Michigan coach Brady Hoke, who said
his impression was Morris had not been diagnosed with a concussion, and reflects a high level of dysfunction within a major college football program.
...Team neurologist Jeffrey Kutcher, a leading expert in the concussion field, was watching further down the field and also did not see the hit, Brandon said.
“However, the neurologist, with expertise in detecting signs of concussion, saw Shane stumble and determined he needed to head down the sideline to evaluate Shane,” Brandon said. “Shane came off the field after the following play and was reassessed by the head athletic trainer for the ankle injury. Since the athletic trainer had not seen the hit to the chin and was not aware that a neurological evaluation was necessary, he cleared Shane for one additional play.”
