Well, MS called it a "mild concussion" and, as I recall, got sh** from the league for doing so. He was officially diagnosed with a concussion and was subsequently cleared to play.

EDIT: From another article:
Quote:
Griffin went home and not to the hospital Sunday afternoon, so that’s the good news. But he couldn’t tell an independent neurologist on the sideline what the score was or what quarter it was, and the team knew within minutes that he was not coming back to the game.

Now, how this became translated from the field to the press box as “shaken up, return questionable” is beyond unacceptable in this day and age of the concussion-obsessed NFL, which is being sued for millions in class-action lawsuits filed by former players who claim the league didn’t protect them enough.
