Roger Goodell: Change or two coming to concussion protocol:
LONDON -- The NFL is prepared "to make a change or two" to its concussion protocol, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said at a fan forum in London on Saturday as the league faces questions about how the Miami Dolphins handled quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's recent injuries.
Responding to a fan's question about concussions and "recent incidents," Goodell outlined the league's "intensive focus" on the issue over the past 15 years and said its medical protocols have served as templates for other sports.
"Our job really is to continue to modify those as medical experts or other experiences tell you this is something you can do differently,'" he said.
