St. Frances Academy's Jalen Smith Enters Concussion Protocol
St. Frances Academy safety Jalen Smith is undergoing concussion protocol after suffering an injury during the team's summer camp. According to unnamed sources, Smith's status for the upcoming season is questionable. The Panthers' secondary depth chart is expected to be impacted by Smith's potential absence. If Smith is unable to play, the team may rely on other defensive backs to fill the void. Smith's recovery timeline is currently unknown, but the MIAA requires players to pass a series of tests before being cleared to return to action. The Panthers' coaching staff will continue to monitor Smith's progress and make a determination on his availability for the next game. No official timeline has been set for Smith's return to practice.
