Report: Rams won’t be penalized for Keenum concussion debacle

[86WARD]

Last Sunday’s early games included a troubling moment in which Rams quarterback Case Keenum obviously had sustained a head injury but somehow wasn’t taken off the field. The NFL has now determined that nothing will be taken from the Rams.


Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Rams won’t be penalized for mishandling the concussion protocol.


There’s no explanation provided regarding why the Rams won’t be punished. A trainer went onto the field to check Keenum, but the trainer didn’t remove Keenum for an official concussion evaluation.

I was watching that game and it was very clear that Case should've been taken out. The NFL rep up in the booth who's job it is to spot these players also whiffed on this one.

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Goodhell cares about player safety. Whatever.


I watched Keenum stagger while getting up. He looked like he got knocked out by R̶h̶o̶n̶d̶a̶ ̶R̶o̶u̶s̶e̶y̶ Holly Holm.

Doesn't make any sense.

I happened to be watching it at that time as well and it was more than clear that his noggin was shaken.

Start watching at the 2:25 mark. (http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl-news/4661838-case-keenum-concussion-video-rams-ravens-nfl-head-injury-protocol)
