"The New York Giants, coach Brian Daboll and running back Cam Skattebo have all been fined stemming from violations of the concussion protocol surrounding an evaluation of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart during their Week 6 game, the NFL and NFL Players Association announced Friday. The Giants were assessed a $200,000 fine for violating the protocol, while Daboll was fined $100,000 and Skattebo $15,000 for conduct detrimental to the league."
"During the Oct. 9 game, Dart grabbed at his head on the ground after taking a hit on a third-quarter sack. After Dart was taken to the blue medical tent to be evaluated for a concussion, Daboll approached the tent and poked in his head. Skattebo also went into the tent. Daboll was later seen talking in an animated fashion to the team physician, Dr. Scott Rodeo, on the sideline while awaiting word on whether Dart would be cleared and return to the game."
"The league and players' union said in a statement that Daboll and Skattebo entering the team created a "perception that they were interfering with Dart's exam." Even though they concluded neither actually had an impact on the exam, "their conduct was inconsistent with and demonstrated a disregard for the concussion protocol's requirements and therefore constituted a violation," the statement said."
