Really? Rivers could hardly walk and he played. And I know for a fact that the Doctors didn't clear him to play. I've seen players play with broken ribs, players like Ronnie Lott who amputated his finger so he could continue playing. Brett Farve playing with a fracture in his ankle etc. Lastly, NFL team doctors are a joke. These are the same Doctors who use to routinely clear players to play a week after suffering a concussion. That's why the NFL stepped in and required that a player has to get evaluated by an independent neurologist, because they know the team Doctors are often full of shit.
