"No-Go" Signs and Symptoms.
If a player exhibits or reports any of the following signs or symptoms of concussion, he must be removed immediately from the field of play and transported to the locker room. If a neutral sideline observer or a member of the player's club's medical team observes a player exhibit or receives a report that a player has experienced any of the following signs or symptoms, the player shall be considered to have suffered a concussion and may not return to participation (practice or play) on the same day under any circumstances:

Loss of Consciousness (including Impact Seizure and/or "fencing posture")
Gross Motor Instability (GMI), identified in the judgment of the club medical staff in consultation with the Sideline UNC, who observe the player's behavior, have access to the player's relevant history and are able to rule out an orthopedic cause for any observed instability
Confusion
Amnesia

The Club physician remains responsible for all final decisions regarding Return-to-Play. However, the Club physician will consult with his/her sideline [Unaffiliated Nuerotrama Consultant (UNC)] team member prior to reaching his/her decision. If the sideline UNC disagrees with the Club physician’s decision to return the player to play or remove the athlete, the sideline UNC will be given an opportunity to explain the basis of his/her opinion. This will be discussed in a collegial fashion in private as to why the player should or should not be returned to the game. The Club physician will communicate his or her final decision to the player."

gonna take a wild guess that the 'protocol ' is probably set up to where it's pretty easy to pass it

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

He was released from the hospital and flew home with the team. He was lucid on the plane and was watching a movie.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Football is fun in that people love giant humans crushing each other but also love tut-tutting the NFL when the people crushing one another get injured.

There's a difference between incidental injuries like Akiem Hicks' elbow getting bent 180 or some rando OL getting his ankle shattered, and avoidable permanent brain injuries. Joints and muscles heal, the brain is fucked. I know you're making a comical point but this guy's brain is swiss cheese now. There is no remedy for brain damage.

[ The Tua stuff is an obvious example. If that concern was genuine, the game wouldn’t exist.
.

That’s a feature of the game, not a bug. Everybody on the field is taking shots to the head on almost every play. Linemen get punched in the head about 50 times a game by some of the strongest people to ever exist.

My point is more that fans dip their toe into concern-for-player-safety water on rare occasion. The Tua stuff is an obvious example. If that concern was genuine, the game wouldn’t exist.

On some level you have to make peace with the fact that these men are richly rewarded for harming themselves for our pleasure.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

The middling Vikings are handling the Saints pretty easily so far. Didn't Reader predict that Dennis Allen would lead them to greatness?

Andy Dalton looking unmistakably Andy Daltonish so far....

[Fields will] be the starting QB on an NFL roster at the start of next season. Book It!

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.
