Patriots notebook: Devin McCourty back in play - 0 Comments

Given clearance, deems head injury a risk of job

FOXBORO — The immediate aftereffects of Devin McCourty’s concussion were frightening enough to throw a scare into everyone who saw the play unfold Dec. 22.

McCourty hit the back of his head on the leg of Ravens tight end Ed Dickson in the teams’ Week 16 meeting, then rose to his feet and stumbled sideways until teammate Brandon Spikes caught him. It served as the latest horrific reminder of the dangers of head trauma, but as McCourty noted, players have to play, and they make physical sacrifices in order to do it.
