Its the AFC championship game. Im sure he will be allowed to play regardless.
The concussion protocols are set by the league, not the team. He will have to be cleared by an NFL doctor, not a team doctor.

I was wrong. It doesn't have to be verified by an NFL doctor, just an independent physician that isn't associated with the team.


Who determines if Mahomes can play next week against the Bills?

It won’t be up to Mahomes. The Chiefs medical staff will be the first to clear Mahomes, but that decision will have to be reviewed and confirmed by an independent neurologist.

Regardless I just find it hard to believe the NFL would let one of the biggest names miss one of the bigger games if they can find a way. Now if we were talk about one of the other lesser players their season would most likely be over.

Yeah he got choked and had his neck twisted. It looked like his circulation was cut off and he almost passed out, but it was actually his nerves. I was surprised to hear it was a concussion since he never hit his head.

The symptoms probably overlap, so no way a check in that moment could have safely put him back in the game.

There is something inherently wrong with you.

I could MAYBE let you slide a little a little on Brian Johnson. But your blatant disrespect towards Bon Scott is unforgivable.
My least favorite band from the 80s/90s.

So you like shit like the Back Street Boys and The Spice Girls better than an alltimer band, then. Noted.

I hate you, Milli Vanilli fan.
I said band, not gayboi orgy.

:lol Funny reading the comments after the NFLs news of neck injury directly conflicts with this doctors assessment of obvious concussion.

One gem is something like, well, doc, my knees get wobbly after an orgasm, am I concussed?
