Josh Norman, Redskins on front lines of concussion-sensitive league

After flipping over the receiver and bouncing the back of his head off the field, Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was down and dazed.

Watching a slow-motion replay of Norman hitting his head last Sunday against the Detroit Lions showed the blank look boxers often have after crashing to the canvas. Norman eventually sat up, then was helped off the field. He starts this week in the NFL’s concussion protocol and the team is unsure if he will make the trip to London to play against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday.

Concussions are having an influence on the Redskins’ season.
