Yeah, this is a weird sitch. That is, the always terminology status of being in 'concussion protocol' part of it. In this instance, for Hedges, even though he has a concussion; is concussed. I am sure there is better information on this out there, but I found the following in relation to MLS/Next on the matter that may help explain. Suspect any Next should be similarly applicable to MLS. Interesting... Hedges is progressing and seems to be somewhere between stages 3 and 4?

Graded Exercise Progression.
A graded return to play progression must be supervised by a QMP. An example of a return to play progression is provided below.
Other information is

1. Light aerobic exercise (e.g. stationary bicycle) for 15-20 minutes (do not allow Player
to break a sweat)
2. Moderate intensity aerobic exercise (30 minutes, moderate intensity, breaking a
sweat)
3. Sport-specific training (ball handling, passing, light running, NO heading)
4. Non-contact training drills, including full exertion interval training (may start light
resistance training)
5. Full contact training with heading
6. Return to competition (game play)
Typically, a Player progresses from one step to the next every 24 hours as long as concussion related symptoms do not newly emerge, reemerge, or become exacerbated. If the Player develops symptoms during one of the steps the activity should be stopped and the Player should be allowed to rest for 24 hours or until such symptoms resolve, whichever is later. The Player should then return to the prior step and resume the progression. The QMP shall be wholly responsible for determining the level of permissible activity, and whether a Player can engage in 7
such with or only without certain symptoms.
Patience is key as symptoms may re-emerge during this process. Do not attempt to speed up this process unless under the supervision of a well-qualified concussion specialist who has access to a multi-disciplinary team of qualified healthcare professionals.
Return to Play.
Return to full contact play shall only occur once the Player is free of concussion related symptoms and permitted in writing by the Player’s QMP and only occurs after (1) player is free of concussion-related symptoms at rest, (2) Player remains free of concussion-related symptoms after a graded exercise progression, and (3) the Player is judged by the QMP to be at his or her neuro-cognitive baseline. At this point the appropriately trained healthcare professional should provide a written note clearing the Player for full-contact play.

MatchDay! Rain? Possibly thunderstorms? Delay/s?
FWIW... Believe match may be on TSN?

Also, FWIW, a Philadelphia Inquirer seasoned journo predicting a tie.

It's on TSN3.
So incoming TSN talking point - "Now we get to see the future of TFC"
Bernie as the 9?
Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/TorontoFC/status/1649908526830047232?s=20
Looks like it. I’m guessing Kaye as the 6
I like this lineup a lot. Shifts Oso back into the midfield rather than playing LW and gets JMR in the game. Would prefer a true striker that Insigne and Berna can work off of, but having Insigne and Berna closer to link up should work well.
Or maybe Insigne as a false 9?
That would be very interesting.
I do believe that at this point in his career, Insigne's best position might be as a false 9 or 10.
I suspect it'll just be Fede as a 9. He played there at Fiorentina quite a bit when younger so he's used to it. Plus, Insigne and JMR are both more providers than scorers.
I am now kind of wondering if it is 4-4-2 with Oso and JMR as the wide mids and Insigne and Bernie playing as a staggered duo up front (Insigne playing a bit behind). Either way, I am very intrigued.
And it’s not likely to be a long term position for Insigne… having just come back and not playing more than 20 mins this season we probably want to see him get into the groove of his usual position.
this is unironically the best line up we're probably going to see until we get a striker.
These plastic kits are actually the best we have seen all year.
They do actually look pretty slick on the pitch
The first blue parley kit we had is still my favourite. The black bar behind the BMO logo ruins this one for me.
TSN suggesting so.
This weather looks dreadful.
Philly going to long ball & press all game long
I don't think we've strung together more than 3 passes in a row.
Jmr ball watching Laryea when he should have been attacking the post
two big issues with this formation/lineup and we are seeing it early on: the kaye-osorio duo in the middle is not good enough and insigne and bernardeschi are not involved enough
Oh dear.
uuuunfortunate.
That's close to the worst luck OG I've seen from us.
Only worse one was the one in MLS Cup that went off Morrow.
Can only laugh at that...
Double OG. Feel bad for both Lucas and Siggy on that.
