NFL Sends Teams Concussion Protocol Memo amid Review of Jaxson Dart, Giants

The NFL sent a concussion protocol memo to all 32 teams on Saturday after New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart’s evaluation on Thursday night, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

“The Concussion Protocol explicitly requires that ‘only medical personnel deemed essential to the care of the athlete may be present for the tent and/or locker room evaluation. This includes the team physician best qualified to evaluate concussion, the Club AT, and the sideline UNC,'” the memo read, via Florio. “No other individuals are permitted in the tent or locker room during an evaluation. This includes coaches, front office personnel and/or other players. Clubs are responsible for ensuring compliance with this requirement.”

After Dart was taken into the medical tent on the Giants’ sideline during their 34-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, head coach Brian Daboll approached the tent and looked inside.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday that the NFL and NFL Players Association would review the application of the league’s concussion protocol as it relates to Dart.
