Stephania Bell talked about concussion protocol and the science of concussions. There is a time and a place for this.
The quarterback said he is familiar with concussion symptoms and that head injuries are an inherent cost of playing football.
In his weekly interview, Burrow said that he hasn't had long-term issues from concussions, but that he has probably suffered at least one during his career and has forgotten a lot of games before.
"I've had some where I don't remember the second half or I don't remember the entire game, or I get a little dizzy at one point," he said. Nothing long- lasting.
Those issues are part of the sport.
You're going to get head injuries. You're going to hurt your knee. It's going to break your arm. The game we play is that one. We live that life. We are paid a lot of money for it. We know what we're getting ourselves into when we play.
The comments come after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was taken off the field on a stretcher, went to a hospital and was diagnosed with a concussion four days after he stumbled following a hit in a game.
According to sources, the consultant who cleared Tagovailoa made several mistakes.
He has not been diagnosed with a concussion since he entered the league. He tore theACL and MCL in his left knee as a rookies and had season-ending surgery.
Football players can try to make the game as safe as possible, but there are dangers that come with the game.
"You have 300-pound men running 20 miles an hour trying to take your head off while you're standing still, trying to ignore it and find receivers that are open," he said on the show.
