Brady Concussion Investigation Determines No Violation
Turns out that Brady and the team did not violate league concussion protocol.
FOXBOROUGH, MA — Despite what his wife said, an NFL and NFLPA probe has concluded that Tom Brady hasn't hidden any concussion from the New England Patriots or the league.
In a statement released Wednesday morning, the joint-investigation concluded that there is no evidence that Brady or the team diverted from league protocols when it came to concussions.
"This review identified no evidence of any deviation from the Protocol by the Patriots' medical staff or the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultants assigned to the Patriots' games or any indication that Mr. Brady sustained a concussion or reported signs of symptoms consisting with having a sustained concussion," the statement from the NFL read.
