Re: Seahawks team fined $100K
From the article...

The Seahawks allowed Wilson to return to their Week 10 game against the Arizona Cardinals just minutes after an official ordered him to leave the field to undergo concussion testing. Television cameras appeared to show the quarterback telling doctors in the sideline medical tent that he was fine before he ran back onto the field. It seemed clear that NFL concussion protocol regulations — which include “at a minimum” having a team doctor ask the player a series of questions and check for symptoms — were not followed.

I thought that after you got sent off the field, you were required to get checked out by an independent doctor, not (minimally) by a team doctor.

I guess that is part of why it cost them $100,000.
