NFL hits Giants with hefty fines for concussion protocol violation during Eagles game

The Denver Broncos scored 33 points in the 4th quarter to beat the New York Giants 33-32. Colin Cowherd discusses Bo Nix’s performance and what his comeback win means for the Broncos and if Jaxson Dart is a franchise QB.

The NFL assessed some hefty fines against the New York Giants after head coach Brian Daboll and running back Cam Skattebo violated the league’s concussion protocol.

During the Giants’ Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, quarterback Jaxson Dart was taken into the blue medical tent for a concussion evaluation. While Dart was being examined, Daboll and Skattebo both peeked into the tent to check on the rookie quarterback.

The interruptions during the examination proved costly, as the NFL fined the Giants $200,000, Daboll $100,000, and Skattebo $15,000 for violating the league’s concussion protocol, the NFL and NFLPA announced in a joint statement Friday.

"Their conduct was inconsistent with and demonstrated a disregard for the concussion protocol’s requirements and therefore constituted a violation," the statement read. 

In the NFL-NFLPA’s joint statement, they noted that Daboll and Skattebo did not have any impact on the exam or care of Dart. The investigation also said that the Giants "undertook immediate remedial steps" to prevent a similar incident from occurring again.
