“It’ll be up to the doctor evaluating him,” said Dr. Alexis Colvin, an orthopedic surgeon in sports medicine and expert in concussions at New York’s Mount Sinai Medical Center. “If he meets all the criteria, he can play.

Under the old rules, it’d be ‘if he lost consciousness for this amount of minutes, he misses this amount of time.’ It’s not cut-and-dry like that anymore.”
