Lamb clears concussion protocol, will play Sunday

NFL players are cleared from concussion protocol by independent, " unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants" (UNCs) hired jointly by the NFL and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), not the individual teams, ensuring impartiality.

seems its not the owner
Consultants that work for 2 groups that are interested in the show going on - the players want to play unless they are FORCED NOT TO ...and the owners want them to play unless they are FORCED NOT TO.

So...those statements are only a comfort to you if it's NOT you or your child. That doesn't mean he's getting the best medical advice FOR HIM. A personal physician - I bet - would advise him not to play for SEVERAL WEEKS if at all.
 
I don't know why they don't wrap all the players in bubble wrap and let them play. Aubrey, if and when he gets pissed off at dak, could literally kick him out of the stadium. :D
It's holiday season. Time to worship one's hero. No wonder you are out blasting Dak...

TBIs shouldn't be taken lightly. His hand movements at the time of impact showed symptoms of neurological damage. Typically I'd defer to the neurologist but this team has a history of rushing players back from injury. Not saying he shouldn't play, especially if he agrees with the docs assessment, but I'm a little concerned considering this happened just over a week ago.
WHAT DO "NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE" MEAN? He's been "cleared" so...nothing to see here lol.

Honestly i thought you may be right thats why i looked, it would be interesting to see what is written into the NFLPA for law suits against it by players who were cleared wrongfully... as an owner its VERY SMART to back all the way out of that so there is no blowback from player concussions.
 
Troy Aikman literally said, "I have no memory of playing in the 93 Championship game" - why?

Those brain cells were permanently damaged by a concussion. What eventually took him out the game? CONCUSSIONS.

True, but that's why I said the doctors who are hired ALL KNOW THE DEAL...get the player back on the field AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. That's in the best interest of "the team"...not the individual player. And if healthcare is about the health of the patient...*** is a team paying a doctor for? In my mind, it's plausible deniability...it's not because they "care".

And of course, many of these young men want back out there ASAP.

A real doctor doesn't care about a damned game...

They shouldn't but... where there is money there will always be doubt.
 
No, I don't think I know more. That's why I cited what EXPERTS have said about concussions...not about what one BODY PAID BY A TEAM SAYS.

I also cited the example of Tua - very similar to what CeeDee showed the fencing posture - and how he was rushed back and then had another concussion.

READ...carefully.

Google Gemini:

Why you're at higher risk:
  • Altered Brain Chemistry: A concussion causes chemical changes, leaving your brain temporarily unbalanced and prone to further damage.
  • Increased Susceptibility: The brain becomes more vulnerable to subsequent impacts, which can occur with less force and cause more severe symptoms.
  • Cognitive Changes: You might be less attentive or have impaired balance and focus, increasing your risk of another fall or impact.

Dangers of a Second Impact (Second Impact Syndrome):
  • This rare but catastrophic condition happens if a second blow occurs before the first concussion has healed.
  • It causes rapid, severe brain swelling, leading to permanent disability, paralysis, or death.

What to do after a concussion:
  • Rest: Allow your brain adequate time to heal.
  • Medical Clearance: Get cleared by a doctor before returning to sports or high-risk activities.
  • Avoid Re-injury: Stay away from strenuous activity and anything that could risk another head impact.

Long-term concerns with repeated concussions:
  • Each subsequent concussion can have more severe symptoms and longer recovery times.
  • Repeated head impacts increase the risk for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and other brain diseases.
All the time working on your Google M.D.

Not enough time researching basic facts such as the independent neurologists not being paid in any way by the team. They are paid by the league following joint approval from the league and NFLPA.
 
CeeDee not only did that BUT it's not his first concussion...in other words...he's prone.

Now...maybe Irvin was too...but he had smelling salts. So, it's not an automatic death sentence and it's not as though this hasn't been going on for years...

...but the "data" also shows that everyone doesn't recover and some people experience lifetime damage. The only way to MITIGATE that damage is to allow for recovery.

And lest you guys think I'm shooting from the hit, let me give you a quick primer on what actually happens:

1. Every cell in your body is replaced except for a few things: The hair in your ears, the lense over your eyes and the NEURONS in the brain. Neurological brain damage is not easily "fixed".

2. A concussion is often a rush of energy - a blow to the head - flooding the brain and killing neurons.

3. There must be time for recovery or you will make your self susceptible to MORE DAMAGE.

This is science...not "taking the word" of the NFL because they threw BS in front of you. Now...maybe an independent doctor looked at him and said, "We'll take the risk...", but it is still a HUGE RISK.
It takes more than just having multiple concussions to be "prone."

His last one was over 4 years ago.

Your argument basically provides no amount of time and that players should never play again.
 
Huge mistake. My man was throwing up gang signs 8 days ago...and the way concussions work the most recent concussion makes you more susceptible to more concussions with any subsequent to trauma to the head.

Jerry: The show must go on...
You know guys get knocked out all the time without ever sustaining major concussions right?

He literally had brain damage the other night. You know guys get injured and sometimes there's no blood or broken bones, right?

Read the thread and my other replies...gnat.
 
You know the team has no influence on the concussion protocol process, right?

Players are evaluated by independent neurological consultants. They do not work for the team.

Do you honestly think that you know more about concussions than a real-life neurologist? You may feel like you have "done your research" on the topic, but you didn't go to school, earn a medical degree, and intern on numerous rotations to achieve your knowledge. You just googled something.
Zoners “doing their research”
