Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers claimed that he can’t blame the NFL following the Tua Tagovailoa incident, with the Miami Dolphins player still recovering after the horrible concussion suffered last week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Rodgers believes that the league should protect the players more than they currently do but also stressed that the players should think of their health when they realise that they have suffered a concussion.
“I just think we have to police ourselves as well and be smart about that,” Rodgers said.
“Players want to be out there. But we need to think about our long-term health.

“I think we all know the difference between getting rocked and getting concussed. There is definitely a difference. I’ve had a few on the field and there’s a difference between getting nailed and going to the sideline, maybe your jaw or neck is hurting a little bit and actually having a concussion.”
Closer eye on certain plays
Rodgers went on to indicate that independent officials should focus on certain plays that could lead to serious injuries during NFL games.
“I don’t know what else the NFL can do,” Rodgers added.
“I’m not always defending the NFL in every decision that they make. Every topic should be up for discussion. When it comes to this, there’s independent people on the sideline who are watching for those hits. I think there has to be a closer eye on those particular plays.”
