As soon as the hospital releases him

He's got a virus, Benj, not cancer or a chronic heart condition. We don't know if he's on Emery's "short list" or not, but this doesn't sound like a disqualifier to me if the reports are accurate. Geez, we have a QB with insulin dependent diabetes for crying out loud.
Assuming it is accurate, ESPN reported that he has a suspected viral flu/inner ear infection and was taken in due to dizziness, nausea, and likely dehydration. Also that he "was doing fine" and wanted to leave after being checked out but they kept him (probably for some IV hydration). He had been sick for several days. If there is something more serious than that, then obviously that's a major consideration but otherwise it's nothing more than a bad virus like we have all had in our lives.
I'm not saying he is "the guy" by any means but he has repeatedly been mentioned as a top-tier candidate so we should now know this week whether Emery truly wants him or not. McCoy, Clements, and Dennison are still alive in the playoffs so its probably one of them if nothing much happens this week out of HH.
The flu is really bad this year. My mom who is a sub in the elementry school has gotten the nasty version of it and trust me it isn't pretty. Assuming it is just this I don't think it will really hurt him.
Well look what he did with Big Ben and Luck.
