FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots receiver Danny Amendola, who sustained a concussion Oct. 13 against the New Orleans Saints that knocked him out of the game and kept him on the sidelines the next week as well, said Friday he is "feeling good and ready to go" for Sunday's home game against the Miami Dolphins.

While stopping short of saying he will definitely play -- that's a decision ultimately made by coach Bill Belichick -- Amendola has gone through the NFL's protocol for concussions with tests administered initially by team doctors and later by independent doctors. He has passed them all.

"I've done pretty much everything they've asked me to do. I'm healthy and I'm ready to play," Amendola said, adding that the tests are both "physical and mental."

"I'm sure it's the same thing if you get [in] a car accident. It's all independent doctors. The NFL does a great job of helping guys out with that sort of thing. It's been a big deal in the past three years; you just have to go through [the process] and listen to what they're telling you."

Amendola has been limited in practices this week, according to the team's official participation report. But he said Friday he feels he's "had a good week" of practice, while revealing that the concussion was the second he's sustained since entering the NFL in 2008.

"I've had one concussion in the NFL prior to this, it was a long time ago, so there is no aftermath of it," he said. "I don't feel any symptoms or anything. I feel really good."
