To come back in. The team doesn't get to clear him, this has been out of the team's hands for a few years now.
He's only independent if hey not on the take. Or an incompetent who was deliberately hired for that reason.
Then the doctor is a moron, there is no amoint of mpney in the world that would make me lie aboit a head injury like that and risk being sued for millions and millions of dollars and losing my license
The NFL should be able to install Helmet sensors that could be monitored remotely during the games. It should be possible to track head trauma automatically, and at a certain level send out automatic alerts if a threshold has been passed.
This would be more accurate than spotters in the stands. Players who exceed a certain level of trauma could be pulled before they suffer excessive brain bruising that would result in concussions or other damage.
Yes, that would be weird (and necessitate a much larger roster). But I think we'll see more and more of this with a longer schedule and games too close together (Sunday then Thursday).
The brain does not recover that fast, it needs time to heal. Monitoring would help enforce rest times for that healing. If the NFL does not get a handle on this, you will see more Tua's (and more CTE cases) that could shut the game down.
The doctor may be independent of the team, but there remains a question of to what extent did the team have a hand in his hiring. And who has the firing prerogative when it ever comes to that.
The NFL might be hiring and paying the independent neurologist, but the NFL's interests don't necessarily run counter to an individual team's.
Hope Tua is ok
What self respecting doctor would clear him last week? He couldn’t walk….

The one appointment by the NFL, was he wrong maybe but the team didn't make the call. This isn't the Junction Boys.

If that's the case then the NFL has put themselves on the hook for a major lawsuit.

He is not coming back ever, he went Emily Rose after that hit, one more concussion can kill him
