that even happens to little league baseball players. It was not caused by unnecessary roughness or neglect by the NFL. He got the best medical care available, and he got it as soon as was humanly possible.

The situation with Tua is different. The judgment to let him return to play so soon after a head injury was a physician mistake. If better helmets are on the way, that's great.

"his head was dribbled off the turf against the Bengals" - what does that even mean?
