University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is still having headaches.

On Tuesday afternoon, almost three days after sustaining a concussion during the third quarter of Florida's 41-7 win against Kentucky, the All-American quarterback continued to show lingering symptoms of his brain injury. Tebow had headaches on Monday as well, according to coach Urban Meyer.

``It's day-to-day,'' Meyer said. ``It could change Wednesday. It could change Thursday.''

In a statement, the team said: ``Tim continues to rest and recover. He also undergoes daily testing and we continue to monitor the resolution of his symptoms.''

Tuesday's tests included measures of Tebow's internal equilibrium, cognitive response time and memory. He likely will undergo daily testing for at least the next week. Meyer observed the test for about 20 minutes.

``It's not like a test, `How's your ankle? Fine. Good,' '' Meyer said. ``You have to pass the tests and he did good.''

After his tests, Tebow met briefly with his teammates, received an ovation for being named offensive player of the game against Kentucky, then went back to his apartment to rest.

``I talked to him for a minute,'' Meyer said. ``This isn't like a turf toe or a shoulder, this is a concussion. So, he's a grown man. He's going to take care of himself and I'm very proud of the way he's handling it, which you would expect.''

According to Meyer, Tebow is not allowed to read or watch television ``until later in the week -- maybe Thursday.''

On Monday, Meyer said he was hopeful Tebow could play against No. 4 LSU on Oct. 10, but the coach was more subdued on Tuesday, telling reporters that he ``hasn't even talked about'' the subject with Tebow. The Gators have a bye this week.

``We're just trying to get healthy,'' Meyer said.
