The NFL has disciplined the New York Giants after a league investigation decided that the staff violated the concussion protocol with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in Week 6.
In a joint assertion on Friday, the NFL and NFLPA introduced that it has fined the Giants $200,000, head coach Brian Daboll $100,000 and operating again Cam Skattebo $15,000 for violating concussion protocol whereas Dart was being examined in the course of the staff’s 34-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 9.
Daboll and Skattebo had been discovered to have violated the protocol by coming into the blue medical tent on the sideline to test on Dart earlier than the concussion analysis was accomplished. The investigation decided that each the Giants medical employees and unaffiliated medical suppliers adopted the correct steps.
All medical personnel had been in settlement that Daboll and Skattebo didn’t influence the precise examination, however the assertion mentioned the actions “demonstrated a disregard for the concussion protocol’s necessities and due to this fact constituted a violation.”
