NFLPA initiates investigation into concussion protocols after Tua injury

So this is interesting.

Bucs coach said Cam Brate came to the sideline complaining about his shoulder after being hit in the head. They routed him to the team docs, NOT the independent neurologist. Why? Because “you can’t see the neurologist if you didn’t hurt your head”.

In this case, he played more snaps before somebody finally realized maybe he should be examined, which happened at halftime. He never came back in the game.
