Vikings' Terence Newman: Clears concussion protocol

Newman was cleared from the concussion protocol Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Newman was removed from Sunday's game against the Rams due to a suspected concussion, but after a quick turnaround (and a missed practice Wednesday), a full showing in drills Thursday informed his clean passage through the protocol for head injuries. He'll now get set to suit up opposite Xavier Rhodes in Week 10 at Oakland.
