The Bulls held practice in full pads today as they prepare to welcome Northern Illinois on Saturday.
The Bulls practiced this morning in full pads under clear skies at the Frank Morsani Football Complex.
Running back Marlon Mack was in pads as well, indicating he might be able to complete the concussion protocol in an attempt to get ready to play against Northern Illinois.
What is ‘concussion protocol?’ Here is an excerpt from the NCAA Concussion Guidelines:
The initial management of sport-related concussion is relative physical and cognitive rest. Athletes diagnosed with sport-related concussion must be removed from play and must not return to sport-related activity for at least one calendar day and are to be evaluated by a health care provider with expertise in sport-related concussion.
