NFL, NFLPA Planning Important Concussion Protocol Change In Wake Of Tua Tagovailoa Injury

The NFL and NFLPA are close to an agreement for a key change in concussion protocol. In procedures that could be implemented as early as next weekend, any player who shows signs of “instability” related to a possible head injury will not be allowed to return to the game. That’s according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who tweeted the news a short time ago.

NFLPA and NFL soon are expected to agree to new protocols in which any time any player demonstrates any instability, he is not allowed to return to the game.
