Newly established rules re: concussion protocol establish rules for fines and possible loss of draft picks for teams that violate.

Eagles..

have to forfeit their next two drafts?
I'm thinking of Cowboy WLB Sean Lee here.....

But when he makes a tackle game 1 and walks off groggy what does Dallas do? Send him out again, playing it off? I'm sure they think twice with this rule.

I feel for Sean Lee. I was knocked cold, definitely a concussion, during an Army Airborne operation when I was young. It took me a couple of weeks before I felt good, no headaches and no "vertigo" like feelings. I didn't even go to sick call cause I was "tough" and such. Had no clue it was a concussion. I was 19 I think.

If you have had multiple knocks like this, well, I can't imagine. Sean Lee is one concussion away from retirement or worse.
its a good rule

step in the right direction if they actually care about player health.

The NFLPA was upset last year when the Rams faced no discipline after QB Case Keenum was allowed to play despite apparent concussion symptoms. It speaks well of both sides that the league and the union jointly announced new protocol that establishes fines and potential loss of draft picks for teams that fail to follow the game-day concussion protocol.

So RGIII cant get dirt in his eye?

Eagles and Skins were two of the worst.
