Tom Savage is in concussion protocol for the third time in four years, and Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia said he's not sure yet how that impact Savage's timetable for a return.

"I don’t really comment on those situations," Patricia said Saturday. "We go day-by-day with it, and let the people that are trained professionally handle all that. We’ll obviously do everything we can to just do everything that's best for the situation."

Savage suffered a brain injury in the first quarter of the Lions' preseason-opening loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday.
