Renton, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks have been fined $100,000 for not properly following concussion protocol with quarterback Russell Wilson during a game in November.
The NFL and NFLPA announced their decision on Thursday following an investigation that lasted more than a month. Along with the financial penalty, Seattle’s coaching and medical staffs will be required to attend remedial training regarding the concussion protocol.
The investigation determined that Wilson was allowed back on the field before a required evaluation was performed on the sideline.
The Seahawks said Thursday that it accepted the results of the investigation and that any missteps in violating the protocol were not intentional.
