As the NFL continues to emphasize both preventing and properly treating concussions, a review of the current protocol is set to take place during the offseason.
According to Ken Belson of the New York Times, NFL senior vice president of health and safety policy Jeff Miller revealed that doctors and medical personnel will meet at the NFL combine later this month to determine if any changes should be made to the policy.
Per Belson, Miller admitted that a Week 11 incident that saw then-St. Louis Rams quarterback Case Keenum stay in the game after suffering a concussion played into the decision to consider making alterations:
"This demonstrated an area where there were definitely not best practices," Miller said.
