One thing I’ve noticed happening a lot lately is players that keep getting concussions. Every game, it seems as though at least one player is carted off the field with a head injury, and out for the rest of the season. The NFL is creating new guidelines with regards to concussions, including taking players off the field that receive head injuries.
If a player is unconscious at any point in the game, they are forced to be removed and are not allowed to return. However, the new guidelines state that if a player shows any signs of head trauma, memory loss, dizzinesss, etc., they are to be removed from the game as well. There are other guidelines to be included, but they have not been voted on yet so they are not official.
Recent players who have received concussions and are prohibited from playing include Brian Westbrook, Clinton Portis, Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger.
