Hall Of Famer
I ask this because i was looking at Wikipedia to get the site pro football ref. com and stumbled upon this in thier bio of Green. i had never heard that he had seizures after his concussion and when was the last one he had since then.
Green's 2006 season was put in jeopardy by a severe concussion he suffered during the first game of the season on September 10, 2006, against the Cincinnati Bengals in Kansas City.[3]
In a bizarre confluence of events, a scrambling Green attempted to slide during a third quarter play, but was hit hard by Cincinnati defensive end Robert Geathers, who had lowered his shoulders, but instead struck the quarterback in an unusual position. [5] However, the official determined that no foul had been committed and Geathers insisted that he had tried to check up, but was pushed by Chiefs receiver Eddie Kennison. CBS announcer Randy Cross, a former offensive lineman with the San Francisco 49ers, believed the hit was unintentional and supported the officials' decision. National Football League officials took the same position and, on September 13, 2006, declined to fine Robert Geathers because he did not have complete control of his body.
Green was rendered unconscious and the game was delayed for over fifteen minutes while Green received medical attention. He reportedly regained consciousness in the tunnel and could not recall the play. According to Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson, preliminary X-rays revealed a "very, very severe concussion" and stated that Green would be out indefinitely.[4]
On Saturday, October 21, 2006 it was reported that Trent Green was cleared by doctors to return to practice. Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson said that this does not mean that he is cleared to play. Peterson confirmed that Green's return to practice will be in a controlled environment to see how far along he is in his recovery from a "very, very severe concussion."[5] However since the incident Green has suffered many small epiletic seizures, sometimes rendering him unable to complete simple task's such as brush his teeth.
On November 15th, 2006, Kansas City Chiefs head coach, Herman Edwards announced that Trent Green would take back his starting quarterback job from Damon Huard who took over when Trent Green suffered a concussion. Trent made a surprising recovery, although he threw an average of about two interceptions per game since his return. Since his concussion, his longest complete pass was a 35 yard touchdown pass in a game against Jacksonville. Despite his concussion, the Chiefs still made it to the playoffs despite losing 3 of their last 5.
