After suffering a pair of concussions, Patriots receiver Demario Douglas was initially asked to shut down his rookie season, according to MassLive’s Mark Daniels.
But, the rookie made it clear that he wanted to play and was ultimately cleared to return to action.
“For me, it’s not an option. They were trying to. I wasn’t going for it,” Douglas told MassLive. “I felt good, but stuff like that you do have to take precautions.”
Douglas has missed three games with head injuries this season. He’s still the Patriots’ leading receiver with 442 yards.
