Geez confirmed concussions for Milligan and Ouellette on Thursday and they are practicing on Tuesday.

It's a joke, but what do you expect the guy to do when they bring in his replacement 3 days after he's concussed, nothing much has changed, the player says he's good to go and the HC says ok.  Trainer can't see inside his head.

One more hit & they're both done for the season.

but tests now from a doctor can 100% tell you of they should be sat down...plus 5 days between a concussion and back to being smacked around is just asking for a repeat issue...if not worse

I don't expect anything from someone with a brain injury.  I expect the coaching staff to do the right thing for the player's health and safety,  With what we know about concussions these days, there's no excuse for those guys to be back out there that quickly.

Tua Tagovailoa is great example of money before a persons health.

Technically professional trainers/medical professionals are trained in concussion tests/protocols and based on the results (even if an athlete is lying) can detect concussion severity/impact on athlete. I think its more the varying thresholds teams employ in holding back an athlete unfortunately.

Great example would be the current NHL playoffs. How many players are/were playing concussed? Professional Sport is a business that can be ruthless on a players health.

Missed quite a few games last season as well, he's not built to take a pounding.  I guess Mathew Shiltz gets another shot with Tyrie Adams on the 1 game IR.
