'Unlikely' Allen Hurns plays Week 13

It's a realistic possibility, however, that Hurns could play a week after being taken off the field on a stretcher and hospitalized briefly as a precautionary measure. He is in the NFL's concussion program and will have to pass a series of concussion tests in order to be cleared to return to practice and play.

Jaguars receiver Bryan Walters suffered a concussion in the team's victory over Baltimore on Nov. 15, cleared the concussion protocol, and played against Tennessee four days later.
