Arizona legislators are considering a bill to protect student athletes from head injuries during games. The bill would require all schools to pull a player from a game immediately if a head injury is suspected. ABC15 reports that the player would not be allowed to return until examined and cleared by a doctor.
Studies show that if players return to the game too quickly, another concussion could cause more problems. It can even be deadly.
The Arizona Sports Concussion Network says 40% of players receiving a concussion return to the game too soon.
