“There was communication between medical personnel on the Carolina sideline, including the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant, and the two independent certified athletic trainer spotters in the booth. During stoppage in play while on-field officials were in the process of administrating penalties, the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant and team physician requested video from the spotters and reviewed the play. They concluded there were no indications of a concussion that would require further evaluation and the removal of the player.”

That has to be a joke, right? In any other situation (with likely any other player), he's pulled & put through concussion protocol. If the NFL is going to be serious about their player safety measures, those measures can't be dictated by who the player is & whether or not they are on a game-winning drive.
