Tim Tebow in pads, heading to practice field

[MahxFahn]

ESPN national college football reporter Joe Schad reported just after 3:30 p.m. (EST) that quarterback Tim Tebow was in full pads and making his way out to the practice field with the No. 1 Florida Gators. Shortly thereafter, two sources confirmed this report to OGGOA. Tebow is indeed dressed and practicing with the Gators for the first time since suffering a concussion on Sept. 26 while playing against the Kentucky Wildcats. According to Jeremy Fowler of the Orlando Sentinel, Tebow will be running set plays while, of course, being under protection from any contact.
OGGOA reported earlier today that Tebow would be back at practice tomorrow, but apparently the fact that he was asymptomatic for a seventh consecutive day (as was deemed necessary by many concussion experts) was enough to give him light work this afternoon.
On Monday, head coach Urban Meyer said Tebow’s headaches had subsided several days prior, and that the team’s starting quarterback has been symptom-free for some time. “Tim looks a lot better,” Meyer said Monday.

Tebow has practiced two days in a row now in full pads, yet Meyer is saying he's a gametime decision. I think Meyer knows perfectly well if Tim is going to play, he's just trying to mess with LSU.

i don't think it's a "will he be ready" it's more of a "will symptoms return?" if he has one headache, a single headache, before kick off, he won't play. simple as that.

I believe fully in what they said on College Football Live the other day. Does Florida need to beat LSU - sure, it would be a great win. They only game we really have to worry about winning is against Georgia since they are in our conference.

So, do you play Tebow in a game that really isn't needed for us to win when he isn't 100% or do you save him for Georgia?

As much as I would love to see Tim play and them beat LSU - I don't want to risk his health. I know Urban and the UF medical staff are going to do what is right.
