That seems pretty reckless to me. What's the protocol now?
I am not calling out A&M, I am sure they followed the same protocol as any other Big12 or SEC team, but that just seems excessive to not have to sit for at least one game.
Articles say he has been unable to participate in OTA's with the Cardinals due to the concussions he suffered while in college.
Wishing him the best, but you don't fool around with head injuries IMO.

Over the middle in the sec is serious. Kern

Honestly only knew about one of them until the draft. Hope he is able to overcome this. Killed Aikman.

You never know - he could've had one the last week of the season and then had a while to recover waiting on the bowl game, or he could've had one right before a bye week. I guess it's impossible to tell. I sure do hope it doesn't hinder his professional career.

Bama gave him two in one play.

The only one I remember off the top of my head is the one against Arky in 2011

Sumlin doesn't care about kids careers

I wonder how many happened pre-Sumlin. He might not have even known about those.
ETA: I think teams should have to keep a record of concussions to keep something like this slipping through the cracks after a coaching change.

He was a 4 year player at A&M so it's possible that he could've had a mild concussion, maybe once a season, and as long as he passed any concussion tests/evaluation afterward been allowed to play the next week.
The frequency could hurt him with the issues the NFL is facing right now in regards to lawsuits over concussions though.

Well it would be hard to remember when he got a "concussion" if he never missed a game.
I think he got one against Louisiana Tech:

Markelle Martin got a good pop on him in 2011:

Took a good pop from Simon:

Those are the ones I could find on Youtube, and I thought I remember him taking a shot against Bama.
Not saying they are all concussions I posted, but those are some likely options

Right, but if IIRC he got pulled out of that Arky game
EDIT: the Martin hit was definitely one after looking up injury reports on Google LINK

I do remember him having a concussion and then not returning one game. Can't remember which.

this year, La Tech as it was the first drive or so of the game

I can tell you that the one against Bama was not a concussion. At least it was not diagnosed as one. The only one diagnosed this year was vs La Tech. Also I believe one was in high school as it was brought up in his recruitment. Once you have one, you are more likely to have another.
