Test results on Denver Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey showed no abnormalities Monday, a day after he sustained his second concussion in three weeks.
McCaffrey was injured in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Green Bay when he took a shot to the head from Packers safety Marques Anderson. He also was hit hard a couple of times earlier in the game and sustained a concussion two weeks ago against Cleveland.
McCaffrey had an MRI and a CAT scan, Broncos spokesman Jim Saccomano said.

Before the results were released, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said he wasn't
sure if McCaffrey will be able to practice Wednesday.
``He's taken a bunch of shots and he's a guy that keeps on getting back up,'' Shanahan said. ``If he's worried about it I'm worried about it, but before we kind of jump off a cliff let's find out where he's at.''
McCaffrey came back strong last season after missing 2001 with a broken leg. He didn't seem to have any trouble early this season after having hernia surgery, but missed four games with a quadriceps injury.
Shanahan opted to rest several of his starters against Green Bay, but put McCaffrey in because he hadn't played much in the last half of the season.
``We weren't going to play him the whole game but wanted to get him a little playing time in there,'' Shanahan said. ``I'm glad we did. It's unfortunate he got a little bit of a headache, a couple of good hits in there, but that's part of the game.''
McCaffrey is fifth on the
team with 16 catches for 166 yards.
