“In my opinion, this is the biggest thing for sports medicine that has come out.”  This quote was uttered by Dr. Javier Cardenas regarding the new medical timeout rule that the NFL has instituted.  Cardenas is a doctor at the Barrow Neurological Institute and is an independent neurological consultant for the Arizona Cardinals at their home games, and is also on the NFL’s head, neck, and spine committee.
