The NFL and NFL Players Association on Monday jointly announced new guidelines designed to probe and punish teams that violate the league's game-day concussion protocol.
Under the new policy, when a team's medical staff or other employee is determined to violate the concussion protocol, the team could be subject to discipline -- either fines of anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a first violation, or loss of draft picks.
Fines for violators will ramp up to a minimum of $100,000 for second and each additional violation of the concussion protocol.
