He was admittedly rusty against the Baltimore Ravens. However, whereas the National Football League uses independent assessors, the NRL relies on club doctors to undertake tests on players who have suffered head knocks. His hands immediately went toward his head, he had a tough time trying to get up and appeared staggered, yet stayed in the game. Had there not been a penalty, the play would’ve been ruled a sack. Watch the hit again.

Fisher said Keenum “feels better” Monday than he did Sunday night, and that as long as he clears the concussion protocol, he will start Sunday at Cincinnati. I didn’t see him struggle to get up. The broadcast catches the two talking. He remained on the field and played the final three snaps. “This still happens too often in the NFL, even after the league’s initiative to be on full alert to look for signs of a concussion”. Bryn Renner, who impressed in the preseason, is a candidate for that practice squad spot, Harbaugh said. They also have a road win against the Atlanta Falcons on their side. That’s game-changing, people. If Marvin Lewis’s team actually wants to contend as the season winds down and the postseason commences, this is an issue they’ve got to correct or they run the risk of being the same Bungles team we’ve seen for the past 25 years. “I don’t know how many coaches have had that kind of run with their quarterbacks”. The melee occurred during the fourth quarter of the game on November 22, when the St. Louis Rams faced the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
There would not have been an injury timeout if the ATC spotter had called down.
What about the spotter’s authority to stop the game? “To my eye, that’ s what happened in the game yesterday”.
“The head trainer was told to leave the field”, Fisher said.
“He just wasn’t playing”, Bowles said during a conference call.
There are several circumstances in which a team would not be charged a timeout inside the two-minute warning, when Keenum was injured, but those did not apply here. “You never know when your turn is going to come”. Baltimore linebacker Elvis Dumervil jumped way offside, to the point where several players from both teams hesitated, anticipating that the play would be blown dead. But the swing mechanics are the main thing and it’s not hard to see when the swing mechanics aren’t what we would be looking for, what he’d be looking for.
The clock was stopped because there was a penalty on the play.
According to experts, if there is a question, the player should be benched. However, he deterred, perhaps after seeing the Rams trainer talk to Keenum. Instead, he stayed in the game and had a costly fumble a few plays later. The Rams are lucky that a late-game turnover was the biggest effect they paid for leaving Keenum in the game. However, when it comes to player safety, the situation should not matter.

It was recovered by defensive end Lawrence Guy at the St Louis 41 to set up the 47-yard, game-winning field goal by Justin Tucker as time expired to give Baltimore the 16-13 win over St. Louis. This was a total system failure from the bottom on up. Post-game, Keenum was unavailable for interviews, because of course he was diagnosed with a concussion. Keenum hit his head on the turf and had to be helped to his feet by Rams guard Garrett Reynolds. If not, Nick Foles would return to the lineup.
