Eberflus noted that Brisker cleared the protocol last Monday, but the safety started to feel ill and had a fever that persisted throughout the week. He was ruled out for the Week 8 game Saturday, and though he overcame the fever by Sunday, he started feeling other symptoms and re-entered the protocol as a result. Eberflus acknowledged that Brisker is in a "unique situation," noting that the safety has been in constant communication with the team regarding his health.
