Jane McManus of ESPNNewYork. com reports that McElroy had concealed his symptoms “for days,” telling teammates about the situation but only finally going to the team on Thursday morning. “He came to my room [Christmas night] and we talked about it,” receiver Clyde Gates told ESPNNewYork.com. “He was hurting real bad. I was like, ‘Bro, I know, I’ve been down that road already.   I’m just saying you can’t try to tough it out cause you going to end up hurting yourself.   You’ve got to let everybody know how you really feel. ’” Guard Matt Slauson also knew about the situation.
