JuJu Smith-Schuster’s injury shows why NFL should penalize helmet-to-helmet hits

After the Kansas City Chiefs had stayed relatively healthy through the season’s first nine weeks — at least by NFL standards — Week 10 brought bad news. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and cornerback Chris Lammons were knocked out of last Sunday’s 27-17 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars with concussions — while offensive tackle Andrew Wylie left the game with what was reported to be an elbow sprain.

Lammons and Smith-Schuster have entered the NFL’s concussion protocol, while it was reported that Wylie would undergo an MRI on his elbow. We expect to learn more about the status of all three players when the team returns to practice on Wednesday.
