Rashean Mathis has not made decision on future following concussion

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Detroit Lions cornerback Rashean Mathis said he has not made a decision on whether he will play football in 2016 after being placed on injured reserve with a concussion on Saturday.

“It’s a decision that we’ll make down the road,” Mathis said. “Family, organization, the whole shebang. I’m here now and it’s all about now. Next year will take care of itself and we’ll see then.”

Mathis said the concussion and being placed on injured reserve have led him to think about his future – but it was also something he thought about before he even decided to come back this season.
