Because concussion protocol.

 

Seriously, the dude slammed his head into the wall and stayed down. Why does the NFL even bother having independent neurologists on site if they're not going to object when a guy goes from slamming his head into the wall to the line of scrimmage without even missing a play? Goodell's setting himself up for another lawsuit after a player gets his bell rung, isn't flagged by any medical staffers then winds up with concussion symptoms the next day.

 

 

 If it wasn't for Gus Bradley objecting that Delanie Walker was able to stay in the game without missing a play or Tennessee having to use a timeout,  Walker wouldn't have even missed one play.  It was surprising that Walker was cleared as fast as he was.   There's no question that when it comes to potential concussions,  err on the side of caution.
