The Facts:
Stokley acknowledged Monday that he actually suffered his 10th career concussion on his first catch in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville. Stokley also said he was already feeling better Monday but his head still wasn’t clear. He said he hoped to get clearance to practice this week because he doesn’t want to miss the Broncos’ game at New England next Monday night.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Given his history and the league’s crackdown on quick returns from head injuries, however, Stokley expects the Broncos to be extra cautious in allowing him to return to the field. He’ll have to pass a series of mental acuity tests in order to return to action. “I don’t want to be a liability out there,” Stokley said. “And I don’t want to be a vegetable when I’m 50. ..." The Broncos hope to get Eddie Royal (ankle) back, a development that could figure into Stokley's return.
