After today's consultation with medical experts, including representatives from our medical and training staffs, it has been determined that Jahvid will not be permitted to return to play at this time," Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew said.
"Throughout this entire process we always have placed the highest priority on what is best for Jahvid from a health and safety standpoint," Mayhew continued. "While today's decision is disappointing from a football perspective, we fully and entirely respect and support this recommendation.
"Jahvid will continue to work with our medial and training staffs with the hope that he ultimately will be cleared to return to the playing field."

Yeah Best is done with football. Sad for us fans, but his health is more important. I really wanna know what tests he did an what he failed though. I would like to see the process of all this. If after a year he is still showing signs I would think he might be like that for the rest of his life.

Read a couple weeks ago they may just be keeping him on to get him another year to help with future benefits once he's out of football (don't know how accurate it is, but it makes sense).
Sucks to see, but I would assume he'll try again to get cleared at the end of the season and if not, he retires. Must be some serious damage done to his brain in order for this to be the case. Wish him the best of Luck in the future (no pun intended). Really wish he could of had a longer career, hopefully he's still able to,
edit: Just saw Anwar post it again
@AnwarRichardson
I was told for months that #Lions RB Jahvid Best wouldn't play. This year was about getting him another #NFL season for benefits.Last edited by blujaysrock; 10-15-2012 at 06:53 PM.
"The way they play offense here is difficult for any quarterback," he said. "Every snap is an incredible decision. They're in a one-back offense, they can't run the ball against certain looks so they have to audible to some kind of a pass or a creative run to get away from trouble.
"There's never a play in the game where Stafford can just turn around, hand the ball off and catch his breath. Every play he's researching the defense and they throw as much as anyone."

Come on. There is more to life then football. We should be happy he got out before it was too late. It does suck for is but he does not need to risk his future and no one should. Originally Posted by rocket
