As far as the NFL Players Association is concerned, changes to the league's concussion protocols cannot come soon enough.
The NFLPA called on the league to put the change into effect in time for this weekend's games:
"Our union has agreed to change the concussion protocols to protect players from returning to play in the case of any similar incident to what we saw on September 25. We would like these changes to go into effect before this weekend's games to immediately protect the players and hope the NFL accepts the change before then as well."
The NFL and the union then agreed on Saturday to implement the changes starting with games on Sunday. NFL & NFLPA have reached agreement on amended concussion protocols in effect starting Sunday, per sources. Both sides focused on medical condition known as Ataxia - any abnormality of balance/stability, coordination or speech, considered only neurological event, sources said
