NFL, NFLPA agree to parameters of updated concussion protocols

The NFL and NFLPA released a joint statement on Saturday night indicating that the league's concussion protocol will have some changes in the wake of the controversy surrounding the handing of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's injury.

«The NFL and NFLPA agree that modifications to the Concussion Protocol are needed to enhance player safety,» the statement read. «The NFLPA's Mackey-White Health & Safety Committee and the NFL's Head Neck and Spine Committee have already begun conversations around the use of the term �Gross Motor Instability' and we anticipate changes being made in the coming days based on what has been learned thus far in the review process.

«The NFL and NFLPA share a strong appreciation for the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants who contribute their time and expertise to our game solely to advance player safety. This program has made our game safer for the athletes who play it for the past twelve seasons.»
