History

Historical Context

In 2013 the NFL settled a class-action lawsuit for $765 million, obligating baseline testing and immediate removal of players with suspected brain injuries. That precedent helped shape MLB’s modern concussion protocol, which team physicians such as Andy Green applied when pitcher Jared Young received a CT scan after a head-on collision with Nolan McLean. Both leagues now prioritize rapid neurological evaluation to curb long-term trauma.
