Even as his own team faces probing questions about concussion protocols, Tom Brady tackled the issue Monday on his weekly podcast, making two distinct points.<\/p>\n
One, concussions are part of life in any violent contact sport. And second, any modifications to the NFL’s concussion protocols should start with prevention.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think those (protocols) are all being evaluated, no doubt. But at the same time, again, I think so much is focused kind of on the aftermath of that,\u201d Brady told host Jim Gray on his \u201cLet’s Go!\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can we do in advance in order to help us athletes be in a position where we can deal with the physical elements of sports? Because you’re not going to be able to take them out of sports. That’s just not the reality. If you want to play two-hand touch football, there’s not going to be a lot of people that tune in.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NFL and NFL Players Association agreed to update concussion protocols after Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sustained frightening injuries in back-to-back games only four days apart. Then on Sunday night, Bucs tight end Cameron Brate remained on the field and was targeted three times by Brady after a violent collision with teammate Chris Godwin.<\/p>\n
