Tim Tebow Injury: Updates and the spin...
Urban Meyer Thinks Tebow Will Play Against LSU in Two Weeks
The Florida Gators don’t play again until October 10th against LSU. When that game is played, It will have been only two weeks since Tim Tebow went down with a severe concussion. Anyone with any grasp of the severity of concussions (or if you watched the special about it on Real Sports earlier this month) should be somewhat terrified that Urban Meyer thinks Tebow will play:
Meyer said Monday that Tebow has a headache, but is eating well. He thinks — but doesn’t know — that his star player will be ready to go against the Tigers.
There is no specific timeline for concussion recovery, and how long players who suffer them need to sit out, but it should certainly be longer than two weeks. You know, it really is just a football game.

Even Tebow's Backup's Family Thinks Tebow Should Start Against LSU
John Brantley is a name you may not have heard before this week, but now know because he is the backup to Tim Tebow, and could in theory start against LSU if Dr. Forhire somehow doesn’t approve Tebow for the game medically.
This means Brantley’s family has to be thrilled for the opportunity to watch their boy take the reins against LSU and…no? (holds finger to ear) I’m sorry, my producers are now telling me this is not the case. …surely, as much as the Brantley family loves Tebow, the Brantleys hope John gets the call at LSU?
“Heck no!” Scot Brantley said. “I want to see Tebow!”
Scot Brantley, a former Gator football himself, then points out that he wants to see Tim Tebow play to fulfill his promise to play because “Tebow made that commitment to come back, and I want to see him fulfill his commitment.” Even if his brain is bruised. I’ll be over here mourning the death of common sense if you need me.

Meyer Visits With Tebow, Thinks QB Looks 'Terrific'
Tebow is going to play. Don’t believe me? Listen to how his coach is talking just four days after his quarterback was rushed to the hospital with his first concussion ever:
Meyer said Wednesday on the weekly Southeastern Conference teleconference that Tebow "looked terrific" when he saw him late Tuesday night.
"That’s the best I’ve seen him," Meyer said.
Meyer also saw Tebow earlier Tuesday, when the coach went through balance and memory tests with his star player, and said he just looked OK.
This has bad news written all over it, does it not?
