Its hard to know from press releases if this is as serious as it seems or if all parties are acting out of an abundance of caution. I hope it is the latter. I've been a Tebow fan since I first saw him play and read about his background. He is a fierce competitor and team motivator so facing a Florida team with Tebow on the sideline would almost be as daunting as when he is barreling down the field.

This story was in the local paper yesterday ...

Tebow restricted from TV, reading, undergoes tests
By The Associated Press, Published: Sep 30, 2009
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida quarterback Tim Tebow went through more post-concussion tests Tuesday, and this time, he had his coach tagging along.
Coach Urban Meyer took several balance and memory tests with his star player because he was curious about the process.
“It’s been an amazing week,” Meyer said.
It’s just getting started, too.
Meyer was inundated with questions about Tebow’s recovery for the second straight day. Meyer said the quarterback still has a headache, but he was able to attend a team meeting. Meyer said Tebow hasn’t been allowed to watch television or read, and didn’t attend practice.
Meyer also said Tebow understands the severity of his brain injury.
“This isn’t a turf toe or a shoulder,” Meyer said. “This is a concussion. He’s a grown man, so he’s going to take care of himself. I’m very proud of the way he’s handled it.”
Tebow spent Saturday night in a Kentucky hospital after his helmet struck teammate Marcus Gilbert’s leg following a third-quarter sack against the Wildcats.
The severity of Tebow’s concussion remains unclear.
Meyer said there is no timetable for getting Tebow back on the practice field. He also made it clear that Tebow could miss practice this week and next and still start the team’s next game, at LSU on Oct. 10.
