Flacco done for with torn ACL!!!!!!

When the head trainer goes out there, you’re usually going to be charged with an injury timeout or if you don’t have an injury timeout, there’s going to be a 10-second runoff. He immediately put both of his hands on his helmet.

With wide receiver Steve Smith already done for the year with a torn Achilles, the Ravens (3-7) must now play their remaining six games without their three top playmakers. And Eagles QB Mark Sanchez and running back Darren Sproles yelled at each other after a fourth-quarter interception was returned for a touchdown as Philadelphia fell to 4-6 by getting routed by the Bucs.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, that changed 25 minutes after the game when a Rams official said that Keenum was unavailable because he had a concussion.

St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher said Monday the system failed because of a “combination of unusual events” and believed that nobody in particular was to blame. It was common at that time to see analysts rank him as a better quarterback than Flacco. “I didn’t see that”.

Well as long as you are at a critical point in the game, then I guess endangering someone’s brain function is understandable.

The controversy arose when Keenum was not taken out of the game; although, it wasn’t known at the time that Case had a concussion directly after the hit.

St. Louis Rams quarterback Case Keenum was hit by a Baltimore Ravens defender, and landed hard on the back of his head. He was attended to by a trainer but stayed on the field. He questioned Case, and Case said he felt OK.

Keenum, who started in place of ineffective first-string quarterback Nick Foles, completed 12 of 26 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown in the loss in addition to losing two fumbles.

HOUSTON – Brian Hoyer is done with the team’s concussion protocol and will start for the Houston Texans on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The injured player must leave the field for at least one down after the timeout is called.

The league released a statement Monday regarding the play. There are squads of medical professionals on the sidelines, players are aware of the life-threatening dangers of staying in the game with a concussion and the league has a very specific policy on how teams should handle a potentially concussed player. It was an intense moment of a close finish. “I don’t know how many coaches have had that kind of run with their quarterbacks”.

Nonetheless, head coaches, as SI’s Chris Burke notes, are detail-oriented to a fault. After running one more play, the Ravens were set up for the game winning field goal. “That’s what happened. We have some things to work out and we’re communicating with the league, Players Association and everybody else, so that we ensure that this doesn’t happen again”.

It’s even worse, though, if Fisher was truly distracted, that the trainer took Keenum for his word.

In a game filled with mistakes and penalties, one final miscue decided the issue. As seen in the below video, the hit on Keenum, #17, features Case grabbing his head and stumbling in a confused state after the hit. The policy was introduced in 2015 and gives the “spotter” the power to stop the game is they see a player struggling with symptoms of concussion. But because the Rams’ trainer went to look at Keenum, the spotter had no reason to call down to the field, Fisher said.
