The NFL and NFL Players Association have reviewed the application of the concussion protocol by the Miami Dolphins' medical staff in January 8th game against the Dolphins and determined the team did not strictly follow concussion protocol with quarterback Matt Moore.
The Dolphins were notified of the NFL's findings in a letter co-signed by Dr. Hunt Batjer (NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee) and Dr. Thom Mayer (Medical director for the NFLPA) that the team should engage their staff in a full review of concussion protocol and other additional education. Any future deviation from protocol would result in enhanced discipline including monetary fines.
