It has been a long, somewhat lonely month of recovery and rehabilitation since Jerel Worthy suffered a concussion during the Buffalo Bills’ final preseason game of 2017. Worthy, a defensive tackle, was expected to step in and contribute to a potent front four, but instead, found himself relegated to the sidelines — and the NFL’s concussion protocol, after sustaining a hit from Joe Powell of the Detroit Lions.
As soon as Powell knocked Worthy to the New Era Field turf, Worthy told Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News he knew something was wrong.
