Staying Ahead of the Problem

The NFL is doing a better job monitoring players with concussions. Before yesterday's games, 11 players were in the concussion protocol program, compared to one in 2007 during Week 3.

Back then, head injuries were treated like pulled muscles and sprains. I don't understand why that happened. I'm not a doctor, but I understand the seriousness of head injuries.

This is one of the biggest issues facing the future of the NFL. Making the game safer is a big challenge.
