Yeah, it's very clear on the replays. No helmet to helmet or even head contact... no hard contact with the turf. And someone in the GDT with an actual medical background was guessing neck compression type of issues.
Standing up and wobbling all over the place, it certainly looked like he had gotten knocked out, but he didn't.
