NFLPA questions whether Oakland Raiders followed protocol for Terrelle Pryor concussion, sources say

[JonLP24]

The NFL Players Association is reviewing whether the Oakland Raiders followed the league concussion protocol with quarterback Terrelle Pryor in Monday night's 37-21 loss to Denver.

Pryor suffered a concussion when hit by Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard, yet remained in the game for two more plays before leaving with medical staff for the locker room to be evaluated.

"It's questionable,'' a source told ESPN.

The union is awaiting receipt of the official game report from the Raiders before deciding how to proceed.

Based on reviewing the game tape, the union has concerns about whether Pryor was checked for symptoms before the decision was made to allow him to continue after Woodyard's hit, and whether Pryor went to the sideline and spoke with coach Dennis Allen before the next play, as Allen says happened.

1. Of course not...with the recent settlement the NFL was able to

act as if they did nothing wrong, and they figure they can keep getting away with it.
