Rex Ryan doesn't like how Tua Tagovailoa's injury was dealt with. There is a time limit of 1:32.
The league is prepared to make a change to its concussion protocol as it faces questions about how the Miami Dolphins handled quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's recent injuries.
The league has an intensive focus on the issue of concussions over the past 15 years and has served as a template for other sports.
"Our job is to modify those as medical experts or other experiences tell you this is something you can do differently," he said.
Fans in London posed questions to the commissioner before the game between the Packers and Giants. He was not available to speak to the media Saturday. The league did not say when the changes would come into effect.
The consultant who evaluated Tagovailoa was fired by the players association. The quarterback returned to the game despite being evaluated for a concussion and the Dolphins said he had a back injury.
The quarterback is out indefinitely after sustaining a concussion at Cincinnati.
There is more chatter now about concussions.
The reality is that the protocols are very important. We don't follow anything else. There is no indication that that didn't happen. He said there was an ongoing investigation. We are focused on doing that. We are prepared to make a change or two in the protocols because we think we can make it even safer.
The league was urged to make changes in time to protect players. The league said it was working on updates to the protocol but did not commit to implementing them before the games.
After colliding with a teammate at the end of the first half against the Kansas City Chiefs, Brate was allowed to return to the game. He sat out the rest of the game with a head injury.
The league's players are getting the most extraordinary care and better than ever before, but they deserve that, and that's what we need to do.
