NFL, NFLPA will review how DeVante Parker's scary head injury wasn't caught during Monday's game
The NFL and NFLPA will review their concussion-reporting policy after New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker nearly continued playing despite sustaining a head injury during Monday's game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Parker sustained the injury in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Dolphins said Tagovailoa sustained a back injury, which allowed him to go back into the contest. Tagovailoa then sustained a concussion and was knocked unconscious during the team's next game, just a few days later. Credit to Agholor for noticing something was wrong and making officials stop the game before Parker continued playing.
