Mike Furrey is disappointed with Detroit's decision to shut him down for the remainder of the season due to a concussion, according to MLive.com. Furrey said, "The frustrating part is that there are four games left. Even if I sat out this week, I'd still have three games left. I feel fine and I'm disappointed. From their side, they needed to get somebody in there who needed to play. I was hoping to practice today and be ready to go. I felt good and I wanted to go, but they said they were being protective."
