Extra points
NFL: The NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed to make changes to the league's concussion protocol following a joint investigation into the procedures after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered what was described as a back injury against the Buffalo Bills last month. The league and players' union said in a joint statement Saturday that while the Dolphins followed protocol after the injury, the outcome of the Tagovailoa case “was not what was intended when the Protocol was drafted.” As a result, language addressing abnormality of balance/stability was added to the league's protocol list of symptoms that would keep a player from returning to the game.
MLB: New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman has been dropped from the team's American League Division Series roster because he missed Friday's workout. Yankees manager Aaron Boone says the former All-Star closer was in Miami rather than at Yankee Stadium and did not provide an acceptable excuse. Boone also says disciplinary action is possible.
