If an individual is concussed, returning that individual to harm’s way could risk another injury. That injury could be much more serious because you are injuring an already injured brain.

Mayo Clinic’s removal from play concussion protocol includes the evaluation of signs and symptoms, orientation questions, the King Devick Test and balance testing. If any of these markers are abnormal or increased from one’s baseline, it’s time to pull the athlete out of the game until seen by a medical provider.
