Seahawks Likely To Be Fined For Russell Wilson Concussion Review 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Nov 12, 2017 3:30 pm

A source close to the situation said the Seattle Seahawks violated the NFL's concussion protocol when allowing Russell Wilson to re-enter the game on Thursday.

Wilson should have gone to the locker room and been cleared by a team doctor and an independent physician.

The Seahawks are expected to face consequences because once an official removed Wilson from the game to be examined.

The NFL and NFL Players Association will jointly review the situation, interview members of the Seahawks organization early this week and come to a decision within the next couple of weeks.

The Seahawks can be fined up to $150,000, although it's unclear what their penalty will be. T
