I don't know what you might mean by "forced". Nobody is forced in the nfl. Heavily coerced, maybe, but I can't imagine a team not being very prudent in this day and age, especially with their new star QB. But what do I know.
Just hope he's ok… for football and for the rest of his life.
If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL.

If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included. We all saw it, even they must know this isn't right https://t.co/vxpaOif5rh

They're saying the hands locking up is a neurological response to head trauma.
You guys should go to jail for letting him play 5 days after an obvious #concussion you covered up. If he dies from second-impact syndrome, I'm pushing form murder charges. https://t.co/Wv043Tj9x5

They clearly don't give a **** about him. They went after Watson hardcore, they went after Brady to the point of getting charged with tampering. He never should have gone back in last week vs. Buffalo. You're right, you can't force an adult to do something, but you can weigh on them and tell them about sacrifice and committment and greatness and leadership and a bunch of other BS that makes a 24-year old think "I've GOT to play"
I was saying you can't force him to play.evan_aggie said:The Porkchop Express said:

Of course you can force them. You can, as a medical professional, not allow them to play in order to properly recover.

Or you can say here are the risks, I advise you dont play, but the player decides. In this day and age docs can get sued the other way tooevan_aggie said:The Porkchop Express said:

Tua to be discharged and fly back with the team.

I just caught up with this story on TNF. Im my professional opinion the mechanism and stumble last week were nearly 100% a concussion. I'm very interested to know what specific tests were done to allow him to get out of the concussion protocol. Between the head shake and stumble just hard to say that was just back and ankle pain.
The hand clenching with neurotrauma is common and basically a mini seizure. If he indeed didn't have a concussion last week likely no biggie. If he was still in recovery from Sunday, which is what I believe to be true, this is a 2nd severe concussion in under a week and very high risk of cerebral edema and severe health risk.

He's a neuroscientist who started the Concussion Legacy Foundation. It's not like he's got a Ph.D. in History
