NFL reviewing Keenum concussion

The NFL is investigating whether correct Rob Gronkowski Jerseyconcussion protocol was followed for Rams quarterback Case Keenum late in Sunday's loss at Baltimore. St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher said Monday the system failed because of a ''combination of unusual events'' and believed that nobody in particular was to blame. A league spokesman said a review was begun after the game ''to determine the facts of the injury ... and why http://www.patriotsofficialnflproshop.com/AUTHENTIC+ROB+NINKOVICH+JERSEY(Keenum) was not removed from the game for the necessary evaluation by a team physician or the unaffiliated neuro-trauma consultant, as required by our concussion protocols.'' That review is continuing through discussions with the Rams and their medical staff, the ATC spotter, game officials, NFL medical advisers, and the players' union. ''The appropriate thing http://www.patriotsofficialnflproshop.com/AUTHENTIC+RYAN+ALLEN+JERSEYis to get everybody together and just make sure it doesn't happen again,'' Fisher said. ''We've got to get it straightened out.'' Fisher believes the independent sideline observer decided not to get involved because Rams trainer Reggie Scott came on the field to examine Keenum with 1:04 remaining and the game tied at 13. ''Because he saw our head trainer on the field, he didn't feel it was necessary to make the call,'' Fisher said. ''And for whatever reason, we went on with the two plays.'' Fisher said that Scott had to make a snap judgment before being told to return to the sideline, Tyler Lockett Jerseyalso noting that the play clock had been started. ''He spoke to Case and he questioned Case, and Case said he felt OK,'' Fisher said. ''Reggie made the right decision to go out there.'' If Scott had http://www.officialseahawksnflstore.com/AUTHENTIC+TYLER+LOCKETT+JERSEYquestioned Case further on the field, Fisher had been concerned the Rams might have gotten charged with their final timeout. Fisher said he didn't see Keenum's helmet hit the turf on a hit by Tim Jurnigan. He said he'd been in ''game management mode.'' ''I saw Case go down, but I didn't see anything else that took place,'' Fisher said. ''I didn't see him struggle to get up.'' Fisher didn't learn Keenum had sustained a concussion until after his postgame news conference. The coach is hopeful Keenum will clear the concussion protocols and be able to start this week at Cincinnati.
