Updates to the NFL's concussion protocol could come as early as Thursday, according to a source familiar with discussions between the league and the NFL Players Association
According to a source familiar with discussions between the NFL and the NFL Players Association over changes to the league’s concussion policy, updates to the concussion protocol could come as early as Thursday. “The urgency on getting it done before tomorrow is that we’ll have new protocols heading into Thursday night’s game, and that way we can have the new protocols in place before they play tomorrow night,” the source told CNN on Wednesday.
Changes to the policies were sparked after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was knocked out of a game against the Buffalo Bills on September 25. The 24-year-old got up awkwardly; he was taken to the locker room for a concussion check and cleared to return to the field. Four days later, on September 29, Tagovailoa was sacked by Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Josh Tupou and lay motionless on the field for several minutes.
