Hopefully, the NFL will
get it right with their new concussion management rules:Neuropsychological baseline testing will be required for all NFL players beginning this season, using a standardized test to establish an individual functional baseline. Neuropsychological testing is one tool a physician can use to assist in the management of MTBI. It cannot be used by itself to make clinical decisions. For players removed from games due to concussions, repeat testing will be done during the season to track recovery and to help decide when they can return to play. These players also will be re-tested against their baseline performance the following season at training camp.
Maybe they can follow the guidelines of
Australian Rugby:
..."He has a concussion that is being monitored and will return to training dependent on when his headaches go away. You have to wait until your headaches go away, you have got normal concentration and your appetite returns and all of those symptoms go away."
