Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins suffered a concussion in Week 12 that kept him sidelined for the team's huge Thanksgiving victory in Baltimore.
Although Higgins was cleared to return on Sunday against the Bills, his head hit the turf very hard multiple times at Highmark Stadium. He was allegedly OK to continue playing, and proceeded to score two TDs in Cincinnati's 39-34 loss.
All that said, it was clear even in real time that Higgins was experiencing discomfort and anguish. I deemed the Bengals' treatment of him to be reckless.
The NFL and NFLPA have released a joint statement, presumably in an effort to clear up the matter.
