When a player sustains an injury during an NFL game, they are escorted to the medical tent behind the team’s bench for treatment to determine the extent of said injury.
The tent, which is usually covered by a blue canopy, is designed to give the player and team medical personnel a level of privacy while a preliminary examination is conducted.
Last October, in a game between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers in London, defensive back Darnay Holmes suffered a thigh bruise and was being attended to out in the open by a trainer, who chose not to take Holmes into the tent.
