New NFL Policy On Concussions

December 2, 2009 10:30 PM ET
Today the NFL implemented a new concussion policy to take effect THIS week. Any player who leaves a game with a concussion MUST sit out the rest of that game or practice. Additionally, players "are to be encouraged to be candid with team medical staffs and fully disclose any signs or symptoms that may be associated with a concussion." Much more from Adam Shefter.
