On the third day of practice, the first conducted in pads, undrafted Packers receiver Adrian Coxson had to leave practice because of dizziness.

After being examined further the next day, Coxson was diagnosed as having a concussion.

He missed the next nine practices and the exhibition opener against New England before the Packers waived him Monday with the designation "failure to disclose physical condition."

Coxson release comes with rarely used designation 



Kind of an odd situation.

... or even if he did it at a game or practice does he get some money for trying out but being let go for a physical 'injury'?
how does that work...

On Wednesday, general manager Ted Thompson said he could not discus the specifics when asked a two-part question about both Coxson and the wide receivers during a press conference.

"The first part of that answer I can't talk about it," Thompson said.

Reached by phone Wednesday evening, Coxson also declined comment.

"I’m not really allowed to speak on it yet," said Coxson, adding that he feels "good" and is "hanging in there."

That both sides said they were unable to comment suggests a grievance may be forthcoming. Coxson, who took part in the off-season program with the Packers, has the option to file a grievance if he believes the organization wrongfully released him while he was recovering from a football-related injury.

Grade 3

This type of concussion involves unconsciousness and lasting presence of the aforementioned symptoms. Treatment and observation are required immediately as a Grade 3 concussion can signal mild brain damage or even brief comas. The effects of a Grade 3 concussion can last for weeks.

Symptoms: A Grade 3 concussion will feature brief unconsciousness that can last mere seconds to as many as five minutes. In serious cases, amnesia can set in for more than a day, in addition to more extreme cases of the aforementioned symptoms. People suffering from Grade 3 concussions can suffer from intense confusion and be found often repeating themselves, be prone to vacant staring and be slow to respond in basic conversation or movement.

Treatment: As with a Grade 2 concussion, observation is essential to a Grade 3, however immediate medical attention is required. Should the symptoms worsen in any manner (i.e. more frequent headaches, slurred speech, decreased motor skills, etc.) further medical attention will be required as there could be early signs of brain damage. Additionally, it is important to monitor the victim’s vision and eye coordination after a Grade 3 concussion, as differing pupil sizes are a telltale indicator or brain damage.

Prevention: Concussions often go undiagnosed or ignored as headaches, so it is important that caution is used when participating in any competitive sports, operating an automobile or working at home or work with heavy machinery or tools.
