When you look through our weekly injury tables, you will likely see a few players ruled out with concussions. Over the last few years, the league has updated its rules and equipment to help reduce NFL head injuries. If a player shows any signs of a head injury during a game, they are immediately pulled from the field. To get back in the starting lineup, they must pass a strict five-step recovery process and be cleared by an independent doctor. This process is focused entirely on player safety, which is why a star player might miss a week or two even if they feel perfectly fine.
