From Demovsky via madison.com

“I think by Monday we’ll know something,” Collins agent, Alan Herman, said Friday. “I assume we’ll know something by Monday.”

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

When you hear about a press conference for the afternoon, then you'll know Nick Collins is retiring.

Just because Collins may get his test results on Monday does not mean he will be making a decision about his future, however.

A decision is expected before the NFL Draft in late April, but discussions between Collins, his family, surgeon, agent, Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson will likely take place to determine the best course of action.

Hoping for the best possible news for Nick, which isn't even coming back and playing. Its gotta be a tough position to be in. I would side with Mike McCarthy on this one and say regardless of the test results, he shouldn't play. There is just way too much risk with the position he plays.

I look at the "hit" that did it. Recalling, I don't think it was much of a hit but more of Stewart (or Williams) leaping over Collins and landing on the top of his head. I can't imagine if he were to come back and have a hit much harder than that.

Also, if he were to come back, I don't think he would be the same player.
