IRVING, Texas — DeVante Parker’s head injury in the first quarter of Monday night’s win over the Cardinals looked like an obvious failure of the NFL’s concussion-spotting protocols.
Parker was allowed to line up for the next play despite appearing wobbly from a hit and stumbling several times. The play was only stopped, it appeared, because Nelson Agholor waived his hands vigorously and Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury threw his challenge flag.
But NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills said Wednesday the situation isn’t so black-and-white, and intimated that the protocol may not have been breached.
How good is this from Agholor?
