This was the update we were all hoping for, and it’s great news. It was clear the moment Bridgewater hit the ground that he was in trouble, and you never want to see anyone get hurt.
You especially don’t want to see someone get a head injury. As someone who has suffered multiple injuries to the head, I can promise they’re a serious matter.

Now, Bridgewater will enter the NFL’s concussion protocol and wait to be cleared before he starts taking snaps again.
The last thing you want to do with a head injury is rush someone back.
