One of the biggest stories coming out of the NFL in the past couple of weeks has been Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffering concussion injuries two weeks in a row. The injury depicted NFL’s policies regarding such incidents and now Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has finally decided to speak up on the raging issue.
The veteran quarterback who has seen plenty of such injuries of this nature during his long career seemed to have a different approach on concussion injuries. Aaron Rodgers claimed that such injuries cannot be blamed entirely on the NFL and even players need to take responsibility as to when they have suffered injuries of such kind.
Aaron Rodgers wants players to take more responsibility regarding concussion injuries
The 38-year-old made a point for stricter implementation of protocols when it comes to a concussion injury, especially after Tua Tagovailoa was allowed to play against the Bengals after he had suffered a similar injury the previous week.
“I’m not always defending the NFL in every decision that they make. I think every topic should be up for discussion. There are independent people on the sidelines who are watching for those hits. There’s a protocol that has to happen if a guy has a ding and they got to go in the tent and be evaluated by multiple people,” he told reporters ahead of the Packers-Giants game in London.
Aaron Rodgers even suggested that closer eyes should be put on certain situations during the matches. He felt that it would eventually help the players in the long run, given the tough nature of the NFL.
“They are trying to pull guys off the field. There are multiple people watching for specific head injuries. We got to police ourselves too,” he said.
