The Chiefs are saying Mahomes cleared the #concussion protocol after this impact? Watch it. He couldn't walk off the field under his own power.

This demands further explanation- I cannot imagine how you rule out #concussion here.

[Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. @ChrisNowinski1]

Shaking your head violently after a head impact is just about always a sign of #concussion, usually a result of double/impaired vision or ringing in the ears.

I've NEVER seen a player shake his head this much.

No way L'Jarius Snead should return after this display.

@BAHill_books I’m not surprised. But continuously disappointed in the NFL for how they handle concussions

[Concussion Awareness @ConcussionProbs]

I genuinely don’t know how..

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

Patrick Mahomes says he’s cleared concussion protocol.

He's good to go Sunday.

That move you scared to make might just be the ONE......

Be stubborn about your goals
but flexible about your methods.

NFL upheld its season-long suspension of Vontaze Burfict.

[Concussion Awareness @ConcussionProbs]

This should have been a penalty but no call...hit on a defenseless receiver. Come on @NFL

[Kevin Boilard @KevinBoilard]

This was a horrific, but legal hit that left Dolphins WR Allen Hurns down on the field. It looks like Cowboys S Jeff Heath is trying to make a play on the ball #MIAvsDAL

[Concussion Awareness @ConcussionProbs]

Hmm. Not sure that’s how that works

Rob Gronkowski tells behavioral neuroscience Ph.D. that CTE is "fixable" because he "fixed" his own: https://t.co/NwIJXyytMV

[Sahal @sahalabdi_]

I’m starting to think that the Vontaze Burfict hit left an enormous, lasting effect on Antonio Brown’s brain health. Not joking at all, either.

The consistent trend of wildly problematic decision-making from AB makes me think CTE is a lot more dangerous than we think.

@ArmaLocke @ZiaJD I went through the CHOP program and am a POTS survivor! Exercise. Exercise. Exercise! I believe in you ❤️

[Concussion Connection @concussconnect]

You are not your concussion. You are not your set of symptoms. It's something that you have but not who you are! It's very easy to get sucked in to it being your identity but there is hope and it doesn't have to always be this way.

3 Brains that were removed at autopsy on 3 former football players

The effects of CTE on these brains is eye opening

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a disease of the brain found in athletes, military #Veterans & others with a history of repetitive head impacts

#NHL #CTE

[Concussion Awareness @ConcussionProbs]

Wow...that’s crazy

[NFLCSFacts @NFLObjectors]

BU #CTE Findings - Found signs of CTE in 177, or 87 percent of all the football players in the study. Specifically, it was found in 29 percent of high school players, 87 percent of college , 71 percent of semi-pro, 88 percent of CFL players and 99 percent of NFL players. #TBI

[MSU @michiganstateu]

#MSU researchers developed impact-sensing headbands that will help with concussion treatments. #SpartansWill

[Ben Robinson @peterrobinson86]

Never ever let a kid play on with a Brain Injury/Concussion.
No HIA in Schools Rugby.
No Maddocks questions on the pitch.
No asking a kid with a Suspected Brain Injury “are you ok to play on ?”
No game worth it.
No result worth it.
All players need protected from themselves.

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

This Just In: Test shows that Aaron Hernandez had advanced stages of CTE. https://t.co/J09jpVvRO4
