Report: Chiefs followed concussion protocol with Charles
The NFL is satisfied with how the Kansas City Chiefs handled running back Jamaal Charles after he took some big hits against the San Diego Chargers last week, according to CBS Sports.
Charles was evaluated by the Chiefs’ training staff after getting hit hard on a touchdown but the team decided he did not have a concussion.
However, Charles said later in the week that he saw “spots” after taking the hit on the TD, leading to speculation that he sustained a concussion. Charles did say repeatedly in the interview that he did not have a concussion.
According to CBS sources, Charles passed all concussion protocols from an independent neurologist and the Chiefs took additional measures after Charles’ radio interview. That included taking a full battery of tests Tuesday. The team also reportedly contacted the NFL to see what else it could do to evaluate Charles’ health.
Even though Charles did not sustain a concussion, the team treated him during the week as if he had. Results came back on Wednesday confirming he was healthy.
Charles started Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Rams.
