I don't mind if Eifert says hey I'm gonna take 2 weeks to make sure. It's his call:
Heck we have a RB in Atlanta in the concussion. Protocol for slipping is his shower. This is insane.
It's not arbitrary. True, people respond to head trauma differently, that's why there are a battery of tests--which include the appearance of concussion symptoms--before a player is allowed to do any physical activity.
Signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:
- Headache or a feeling of pressure in the head
- Temporary loss of consciousness
- Confusion or feeling as if in a fog
- Amnesia surrounding the traumatic event
- Dizziness or "seeing stars"
- Ringing in the ears
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Slurred speech
- Delayed response to questions
- Appearing dazed
- Fatigue
