Joe Hubener ready for TCU after passing Kansas State's concussion protocol

MANHATTAN

Joe Hubener says he didn’t suffer a concussion when Oklahoma State’s Tre Flowers knocked him to the ground on a quarterback scramble Saturday.

The Kansas State junior knows this because he spent the majority of the first quarter of that game on the sideline passing a complicated series of tests, administered by K-State trainers, that determined whether he suffered a head injury.

“It looked bad, but I was fine once I got back to reality and realized where I was,” Hubener said Tuesday. “It wasn’t a huge deal.”

K-State trainers told Hubener he was fit to return near the end of the first quarter, so he grabbed his helmet and began warming up for a possible return.
