NFL's 2013 protocol for players with concussions

Jack Vegas · 01-07-2014, 03:00 PM

I know a little bit about IMPACT from a story I wrote a few years ago when they first started using it in high school football. It judges not just on the player having the correct answers to the questions but things like reaction time. It's a really good program with a lot of credibility and science behind it.

Correct me if I am wrong. They use a baseline from before the head trauma to grade how much effect the head injury has had on the player... So its not just 25 Q&As to get right... Its 25 Q&As to get right and in the same amount of time.

I pulled 25 out of my posterior so don't correct it.
