Good recruitment on fear of growing back injury like we thought you being discharged from awful flooring homework. Shortly those are some good people. Yes, we just learned he left the game with head and neck injuries is going to travel back to Miami with the team. Having said that, we know that the NFL players Association. They already wanted to go ahead and investigate what took place this past Sunday when when Sulla was allowed to continue on in the game. What was your level of concern. Having seen that play in knowing that the dolphin said it was only a back issue will in real car. When I called I tweeted when there are clear neurological following outward sign doesn't matter if you the rest of the concussion protocol. You are ruled out.

And I think that it will cut Bill. The only exception for that of course is if somehow they determine the was a neurologic issue when he stumbled enough. What was reported to be determined that it was his back. He can be hurt his back in the first quarter before he left in the second quarter on the quarterback sneak when he was hyperextended back that I wasn't there. There certainly? You know if that was a neurologic site needed to be ruled out.

If it indeed wasn't back in his head clear and it wasn't just the Miami doctors remember independent neurologic neurologist on the sideline.

The Red Hat there independent from the team jointly appointed by the NFL.

NFL.

The answer to both sides. That person also cleared to its common for the NFL to make phone calls and investigate themselves quietly. The PA is doing it in a public way and they should. If there is nothing to hide but them investigate if there is something I should find out and expose what happened absolutely Dr. David Chow is joining us very familiar with the situation have been lead Dr. for the charges for years. Based on what we saw tonight knowing what took place this past Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

What should everybody's level of concern be here for two it's on the lower well.

I like the triangular people from reassurance to my preference so we could deliver positive new rather than negative news from the get go where you are now sleeping on the stretcher with head and neck injury like talking to be a neck. If not, can you spot a court not lying for easier and looks very scary. I get you good luck you to be a serious back issue and so far it's not. Thankfully, as far as head injury. Their concern is very concerning.

When you see someone, let's say Alice easier in many cities, plaintiffs with very concerning.

When you see someone fence or posture. We call it in the court, acute posturing, like you know your brain goes send a lot of different electrical signals and know you see it in his fingers in his wrist in his elbow arms enough that we thought it's very disconcerting to see that. But the good news is, it's usually very temporary, and I love pooh-poohing the full fake look if it indeed with the second impact that makes it a bigger deal longer recovery.

We always worry about PPD you know let the facts be what they are but part of it is just the scariness of the posturing that gets everyone talking about this, but thankfully that in of itself isn't always an indicator of a super severe concussion, so to speak.that's Outlook Sonos question here with you, they don't play again, and this is a good amount of time until October 9. That be in New York taking on the Giants will excuse me, the jets no reason for Chua not to participate in a game right well early to tell right.

I mean, you have head injury symptoms still and in symptoms that go beyond good tonight it's going to. You shouldn't play if for some reason it determined that this is a second concussion absolutely should not put it, a symbol of it is not always the simple one concussion are out for at least a week affecting concussion the same season you're out for a least a month the third concussion you're out for the season is overly simplified.

The doctors need to look at him and do what's right.

Like his mom and dad were with them.

I've met them before they're very loving that you do what's right by the sun as they should and look everyone remember before you squirt the dolphin through the NFL, who is the one who also said it was my back felt the dolphin convince him to lie. I doubt it right to isn't filing the complaint. If the PA and at the right and they should be able to do so and I'm not taking any sides on this on to say let's let the process play out and hopefully will be okay. The first deputy flying home to start screening symptoms. If he doesn't have symptoms going forward, if not impossible for him to play but I guarantee you the NFL going to take a lot of scrutiny at this could they don't want to leave flame fee. Head injury handle all absolutely. Dr. just given my perspective, I'm not a doctor. I'm just somebody was hit his head up someone's been in a car accident.

I know what it feels like the know feel like you got your belt wrong watching his head slam on the turf on Sunday. It don't look great. Looking at his head or watching him get ragdoll into the turf tonight does not look good and I say to myself, you know what I don't want to see the guy play on Solano like for sure he's going to be smooth this the game is dangerous enough as it is, what would you say to people who say man, he should have been out there in the first place and he shouldn't be there based on what we've seen just this entire week all sorts of conclusions from afar green guy got a new head coach we got something happening there doing well their future. Why would you want to jeopardize the future could win a regular-season game you know. Look, let the facts play out. I get the realistic question I get the natural reaction to the posturing that happened thankfully that one check. No serious neck injury to check discharge from the hospital flying home with step three is, hopefully, he clears very quickly from symptoms.

Step four is nothing long-term and step five or six or seven is eventually getting back to playing. If he chooses to. And let's leave it up to the medical doctors to his own doctors, insurance agent and family will get involved and let them decide on their own time.

What is best for him and will go from there. Dr. Chow, I appreciate you taking it's on the link your expertise always appreciated. Thank you, dear, no doubt about it. Dr. David Chow joining us.
