He was supposed to be in pads.
That’s possible. He could also be pissed if a coach accused him of malingering if he isn’t.
A player can’t progress to the next step in the return to play protocol unless they are symptom free for 24 hours after the last step. If he is complaining he is being rushed back too soon he must still be experiencing symptoms. If he is still experiencing symptoms there is no way for him to progress through the return to play protocol to the point he can be cleared by an independent neurologist.
If symptoms develop, the player must rest until symptoms have resolved then they start at the previous step which didn’t cause symptoms. So if Glenn developed a headache after step 4 he would need to rest until symptom free and when he resumed the protocol it would be at step 3, not step 4.
If he is claiming he is being rushed back too soon, but not experiencing concussion symptoms then he is malingering.
