NFL reviewing protocol in Keenum case

- The Associated Press

The NFL is investigat­ing whether correct concussion protocol was followed for Rams quarterbac­k Case Keenum late in Sunday’s loss at Baltimore. 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. A league spokesman said a review was begun after the game “to determine the facts of the injury ... and why (Keenum) was not removed from the game for the necessary evaluation by a team physician or the unaffiliat­ed neuro-trauma consultant, as required by our concussion protocols.” That review is continuing through discussion­s with the Rams and their medical staff, the ATC spotter, game officials, NFL medical advisers, and the players’ union.
