Thomas may be out for Sunday

Concussions. Never has bruising one's brain been such a hot topic this NFL season, and amidst talking-head ramblings I was curious as to how Zach Thomas was holding up in the concussion department. His latest may keep him out of Sunday's game against the Jets.

On a side, I'm still trying to comprehend Joey Porter's contribution to the story:

"When you have a concussion or something, a new mouthpiece always fits tighter and you get a better grip on it," Porter said. "He had a mouthpiece, but he just wanted another one. A brand new one is harder. The old one, you tend to chew on it, and you wear it out a little bit."

I guess it's a football thing.
