During the National Football League’s (NFL) 2015 season, including preseason and playoffs, a total of 271 player concussions were diagnosed, an increase of 32 percent over the NFL’s 2014 diagnosed concussion totals. In regular season games alone, diagnosed concussions rose by 58 percent up to 182 diagnoses, the highest such number in four years according to reports from ESPN. Of those regular season concussions 92 were caused by contact with another helmet.
It seems reasonable to suspect that new concussion protocols, which are heightened screening measures adopted by the NFL for in-game evaluation of players potentially suffering a head trauma, are at least part of the reason why the number of diagnosed concussions rose so significantly. It seems equally clear, however, that football players are regularly suffering a great deal of brain trauma. The long term effects of that brain trauma is at best uncertain and at worse potentially very frightening.
