In the wake of their Week 6 game, the Giants have been the subject of an investigation over their handling of the league’s concussion protocol. That process has now concluded with discipline being handed down. 
The organization has been fined $200K, per a joint NFL-NFLPA announcement. In addition, head coach Brian Daboll has been issued a $100K fine. Running back Cam Skattebo has also received a financial penalty; the fourth-round rookie has been fined $15K.
During the Giants’ Thursday night contest against the Eagles, quarterback Jaxson Dart was taken to the medical tent to be evaluated for a potential concussion. Daboll and Skattebo entered the tent to check on Dart, with Daboll also engaging in a heated discussion with the team’s medical staff. In the immediate aftermath of the game, it was widely believed discipline of some kind would be forthcoming. Today’s news thus comes as little surprise.
“While the parties agreed that Coach Daboll’s and Mr. Skattebo’s actions had no actual impact on the exam or the care that Mr. Dart received, their conduct was inconsistent with and demonstrated a disregard for the concussion protocol’s requirements and therefore constituted a violation,” the announcement reads in part.
Dart was able to return to the game and then played every snap last week against the Broncos. He is in line to remain the Giants’ starter moving forward barring any missed time due to injury. Both Daboll and Skattebo issued apologies for their actions following the incident, and the announcement notes “immediate remedial steps” have been taken to ensure a repeat of this situation will not take place moving forward.
They need to take some draft picks
Daboll should have been fined and suspended. But fining a rookie who was checking on his bud or offering him well wishes? Stupid.
He was violating clear rules. Just because Cam is dumber than a bag of rocks, as attested to by his teammates, doesn’t mean he gets a free pass.
He violated clear cut rules. His rookie status has no bearing on that.
“Never Remember” is one of the worst commenters on TradeRumors, bar none.
He’s a troll. I almost never mute people but he’s earned it.
So skirting the concussion rules brings less of a penalty than yelling at a referee after a game and hurting his feelings.
Pretty said that Daboll was more concerned about his job than the long term well being of young man. Should be fired.
Mr. Mara..
Write the check to cover the fines from Petty Cash..
And..
Let’s move on..
Damn that’s a grown man’s salary
