Comment: 'Chase is different since it's a concussion. If he passes he plays.' Another: 'Lol…pretty obvious you haven't been playing long enough to understand how injuries in the nfl work but the general rule of thumb is when a player clears concussion protocol, they will play. NFL teams don't just have them rest an extra week to fully recover. On the other hand, soft tissue injuries and sprains can linger which impacts their performance and increases the chances of a re-aggravation. That's why Jefferson and Higgins will be resting this week.'

STACKED’s take

Concussion protocol; community notes Chase's status differs from Jefferson's ankle sprain. One comment clarifies: concussion-protocol players play if cleared (binary rule); soft-tissue/sprain injuries like Jefferson's and Higgins' warrant extra rest before bye. Chase owner mentioned as potential matchup hedge if both Chase and Jefferson sit.
