According to LeCounte’s assistant head coach Ryan Glazer, “I really think it’s a concussion. He says his neck is sore. He is out of it, too. I’m not sure what happened.”
On Richard LeCounte, not too much is not for certain. The word on the Liberty County sideline is concussion is likely, but nothing 100% yet.

UPDATE: LeCounte recently tweeted about his status.
