NFL won't bite on dentist's concussion device
By Peter Keating
ESPN The Magazine
Shaun Alexander is one of the fortunate. Some 20 minutes after being
leveled by Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington, the league MVP wandered
the Seattle sideline, unable to find his guards or tackles. Not until
he spotted Matt Hasselbeck on the jumbo screens at Qwest Field did he
realize he had been knocked cold and removed from the field.
Alexander recovered his smile and his moves in time to torch the
Panthers a week later in the conference championship game. But Priest
Holmes is still trying to recover from multiple hits to the head and
spine, including a helmet-to-helmet shot he took against the Chargers
four months ago. Wayne Chrebet's career ended in November after what
was at least his ninth concussion. And the Rams, Jets and Browns had
starting QBs sidelined during the season because of blows to the head.
