Argos linebacker Woods feeling fine after following concussion protocol
TORONTO — Bear Woods understands the risks he takes playing football.
The veteran linebacker will make the trip to Regina on Saturday when Toronto visits the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Woods missed the second half of the Argonauts’ 27-24 home win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Monday night following concussion protocol that included taking his helmet away.
Woods was involved in a nasty helmet-to-helmet collision with Ottawa quarterback Trevor Harris in the first half. Woods remained in the game but later was told by medical officials he’d have to undergo the protocol, effectively ending his night.
He confirmed Thursday that protocol included relieving him of his helmet so he couldn’t return to the field.
