Only a Sore Neck, Headache for Beebe

Don Beebe said that except for a sore neck and headache, he felt fine the day after getting knocked unconscious in Green Bay’s game at Detroit.

But the wide receiver implied that his wife would like him to retire.

“I’ve done this before. If I was to have the same play tomorrow I’d do the same thing,� Beebe said Monday. “I would try to catch the ball. That’s my job. I have no fear, still, I have no fear.

“As far as my attitude, my attitude hasn’t changed any. My wife’s attitude now has changed a little, but mine hasn’t changed any.�

When asked point blank if he would consider retiring, Beebe, who is attempting to become the first player ever to reach six Super Bowls, didn’t deny it.

“That’s an issue I’d as soon not address at this time,� he said.

Beebe was scheduled to see a neurologist today to make certain he’s all right following what was at least the sixth concussion of his nine-year career.

Beebe was knocked unconscious in the second quarter of the Packers’ 26-15 loss when he was sandwiched by Lion defenders Stephen Boyd and Mark Carrier while trying to catch a slant pass from Brett Favre.

Meanwhile the tight end turnstile continued in Green Bay when the Packers released Reggie Johnson and re-signed Tyrone Davis, who was waived only last week.

Davis, 6-foot-4 and 264 pounds, was waived Sept. 24 when the Packers signed defensive back Bucky Brooks as a free agent. Davis was acquired from the New York Jets in an Aug. 25 trade for past considerations.
