Of course, all this is in reaction to the past two Miami Dolphins games that saw Tua Tagovailoa injured against the Ravens and then taken off the field Thursday after being slammed to the turf.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested the changes could be implemented as soon as next week’s games.
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. The rule could go into effect as early as week 5.
