Bills QB Kevin Kolb suffered a serious concussion over the weekend and it could be career ending. The Bills did step into action almost immediately and signed veteran quarterback Matt Leinart. I thought Leinart was finished?!?! Soooo Bills fans, what do you think of this?!
Details after the jump….
Via ESPN:
Buffalo Bills quarterback Kevin Kolb suffered a concussion in Saturday’s preseason loss to theWashington Redskins, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Per the source, the Bills are proceeding as if the concussion, which was termed “serious,” could be career-ending. Kolb will undergo a battery of tests and the Bills do not want to rush him back even if he can continue his career, the source told Schefter.
While diving for a first down in Saturday’s game, Kolb was kneed in the helmet by a Redskins defender. He remained on the field for the final four plays of the drive before departing for the locker room with what the team called concussion-like symptoms.
Kolb, who turned 29 on Saturday, missed time in 2010 and 2012 with concussions, a history that has the Bills concerned. The Bills are already without rookie EJ Manuel, who underwent a minor procedure on his left knee last week.
On Sunday, the Bills signed veteran quarterback Matt Leinart and traded with the Detroit Lions for backup quarterback Thad Lewis.
