Jake Elliott was reminded this week of something every NFL kicker knows: theirs is a pretty sweet gig — unless you get hurt.
There was no mistaking the relief Elliott felt Friday as he stood in front of reporters and recounted how he recovered from the concussion he suffered Sunday night at Dallas. Elliott completed the NFL concussion protocol and is scheduled to kick for the Eagles Sunday against the visiting Bears.
“I felt a little bit better the following day. I’d say about two or three days after, I started feeling more and more like myself,” said Elliott, who said he was able to kick as much Wednesday and Thursday as he normally would in preparing for a game.
