There was a law passed back in 2011 that requires all schools to immediately remove an athlete from a game or practice in any sport if they are showing any signs of a concussion or head injury. That’s just part of the work done to try to ensure these athletes are suffering potentially life changing injuries. The handling of concussion injuries is on a lot of people’s minds after Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa took a hard hit and had to be carted off the field in Cincinnati Thursday night. “Everybody’s noticed that his hands went into spasm,” said Cody Barnett. “That’s a neurological reaction.” Barnett owns Bodyworx Physical Therapy in east Wichita. He says watching that hit, he could immediately tell what was wrong. “So automatically think either brain injury or spinal cord injury was something like that.”
