Will He Play?

During the Colt's game, RG Stephen Neal took a knee to the back of his head after Tom Brady threw an interception. He came out of the game and didn't return. The team has been somewhat silent on his condition. It was ruled as a "head injury". There are reports that it might be a concussion. This has to be treated very seriously by the team. They only need to look at the tragic ending to LB Ted Johnson's career and his subsequent medical problems due to his numerous concussions that he experienced during his time with the Pats.

RB Brian Westbrook of the Eagles suffered his 2nd concussion in three weeks and has been undergoing extensive tests to determine if he can play again this season or perhaps at all. Too many players go on the field every week because they are afraid of losing their job due to injury. The NFL needs to do better job in addressing injuries.
