History

Historical Context

The NFL's focus on player safety intensified after a 20% rise in concussions during the 2010 season, prompting stricter protocols. This followed earlier concerns, such as the establishment of the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee in 1994 and the discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former players. Recent injuries, like Kyler Murray's, highlight ongoing challenges in player health management and game dynamics.
