The Arizona Cardinals already have a tough matchup ahead of them in Week
16, as they head to Washington to face the Seattle Seahawks and their dreaded
12th man. It will be a lot tougher if they don't have Larry Fitzgerald
available. He sustained a concussion during Sunday's game, though it sounds like
he is progressing well in his recovery thus far.
“Today I went in and saw an independent neurologist,” Fitzgerald told Jim
Gray of Westwood One Monday evening. “He put me through a screening test, a
baseline test, that I took in the spring time. They wanted to see if my scores
were on the same level as my scores when I was fully functioning in the
offseason. Those tests came back positive. I was right where I needed to be.
Tomorrow I will see another neurologist to get another independent look.”
“At that point it’s just about how I feel going through the week. But right
now I’m feeling good.”
Obviously, Fitz won't play against the Seahawks unless he goes all the way
through the NFL's concussion protocol this week, but things sound promising for
him thus far. If he is cleared by doctors, Fitzgerald will be a shaky fantasy
play against Richard Sherman and the stout Seahawks D.
