Best missed the last 11 games of the season (including the playoff game) after suffering his second concussion of the season Week 6 against the 49ers. Best has a history of concussions and the Lions have understandably been cautious with him through this process. However, Best is expected to be a full participant in June's mini-camp and for the start of training camp beginning at the end of July. "Those doctors felt like it just made sense to do that in June," Mayhew said. "It gives him the most time. We are not doing anything that involves any contact and he's been cleared to do everything that we're doing right now and he'll be officially cleared for contact in June. ..." So there you have it; Best will have had a full eight months free of contact since suffering that concussion. And how much should you be concerned about the next concussion? We suggest very.
