Nick Sorensen will rest awhile with a concussion after a severe blow to the head in Detroit.CLEVELAND -- Browns safety Nick Sorensen suffered a concussion in Detroit Saturday night and will sit out the final preseason game Thursday night against the Bears.
Coach Eric Mangini said Sorensen will be "resting for awhile'' after a violent helmet-to-helmet collision with two Detroit players.
Sorensen, a key special teams player, was immobilized and carted off the field. He spent time in a Detroit hospital for further evaluation, but went home that night. Sunday, he visited the Browns facility for evaluation but went home to rest and still had a headache.
The NFL has begun taking concussions very seriously, with players being kept out of action longer and being more closely monitored than ever before.
