Three days after a hard hit that left him unconscious on the field, Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo was studying film with his fellow quarterbacks on Monday.Calvillo is not suffering from post-concussion symptoms and if the pivot remains symptom-free on Tuesday, he will practice with the team.
Calvillo felt fine on both Sunday and Monday after the incident, but is considered day-to-day and hasn't done any exercise yet. He will follow post-concussion protocol during the week to determine if he will play on Friday against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
With seven seconds left in the third quarter on Friday night in Edmonton, Calvillo looked to be badly injured following a massive hit by Marcus Howard after a fumble. Howard connected squarely with Calvillo's left shoulder and knocking the future Hall of Famer's head against the turf.
"That was the first time I have ever been completely knocked out," Calvillo said. "I've had concussions before, but I have never been knocked out. That was a bit scary.
"I remember fumbling the ball and getting hit but after that I don't remember anything until the trainers were talking to me. I guess I was completely out for about 20 seconds. It's way too early right now to determine if this will keep me out or not."
Adrian McPherson came in to replace Calvillo and led the Alouettes to a 34-21 win.
