Terrelle Pryor was down on the field for several seconds after a hard hit by Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard, yet nobody came out to take a look at the Raiders quarterback even thought there was a delay as the previous play was being reviewed. Pryor stayed in the game for two more plays, and then was checked out when the series was over, Matt Flynn then came in the game while Pryor went to the locker room for evaluation, Pryor had a concussion. This series of events has rightfully has drawn the attention of the NFLPA, ESPN and Fox Sports reported. The NFLPA is looking into whether proper protocol was followed by the Raiders athletic trainers and doctors. A NFL spokesman told Pro Football Talk that “[a]ll indications are that the Raiders followed the proper protocol," which might be the most curious comment on the incident. The league, which just paid out $765 million in a concussion lawsuits settlement, has been trying to convince everyone over the last few years that it is serious about the concussion issue, if that was the case, it would make sense that, like the union, the league would at very least be spending some time asking questions about why Pryor stayed in the game and wasn't evaluated on the field.
