NFL, NFLPA Agree To Jointly Investigate Concussion Protocol Cases

The NFL and NFLPA yesterday announced that they would jointly investigate potential violations of the league’s concussion protocol, with fines and draft-pick forfeitures possible. Each party will get one representative to investigate possible violations, and in the event of a split, a third party arbitrator will rule. Under the terms of the CBA, Commissioner Roger Goodell has final say in punishment.

The new ranges of punishment include a maximum $150,000 fine for first violation, a minimum $100,000 violation for second, and draft-pick forfeitures and higher fines if it is determined the violation occurred so the team could keep a player in for competitive reasons. The Rams last year appeared to violate the protocol when they left a clearly woozy QB Case Keenum in the game after his head was slammed into the turf.
