Episode notes
Running QBs Increase Concussion Risk
- Jackson Dart's running creates exposure to repeated head hits and he's already had multiple concussion evaluations this season.
- Pro Football Doc warns that delayed symptoms and repeated checks put Dart at higher risk and likely conservative management going forward.
Spotters May Miss Real-Time Concussion Signs
- The Giants self-reported concerns about Dart after the play although he returned without a blue-tent concussion check.
- Pro Football Doc notes spotters and refs may miss signs in real time, making team reporting crucial.
Limit High-Risk Rushes For QBs
- Control a mobile quarterback's rushes selectively to reduce concussion risk without removing key parts of his game.
- Prioritize going down on plays that risk head contact, especially after prior concussions.
