If so, then it IS on the team. He may have cleared the protocol but there still has to be some common sense applied.

That is how I see it too. The doctors have a minimum standard based on really imperfect information. But the team should know better. Putting him back in the game is one thing but throwing him back in on a short week for a mostly meaningless regular season game is something else entirely. And it’s not helping matters that McDaniel insists on playing completely by the book that just because he received clearance they are totally in the clear. No, a team can and should exercise precautions.
