Back from hiatus, NFL is getting serious

Took some time this summer to regroup.

Recent news suggests that the NFL is getting serious about concussion management:
The NFL's new guidelines on concussion management include a telephone hotline that will make it easier to report to the league when a player with a head injury is being forced to practice or play against medical advice.

The league's new concussion guidelines... include whistleblower provisions for individuals to report concussions with the telephone hotline and a booklet that will allow players and their families to identify symptoms.
