Chris Cooley’s concussion is serious enough to drive him to see a Concussion Specialist.  Furthermore, according to the Washington Post, Cooley has a history of concussions.  He suffered three of them in college.  What I find a bit ironic is that Cooley suffered his first pro-level concussion while wearing a helmet which is one of seven models being tested by the NFL to determine which helmet offers the most protection.  He volunteered to take part in the test.  Anyone wanna bet Cooley returns to the classic helmet style when he returns to action?
