AP source: as for shocks Baseball DL

The NFL is not the only sport way to find head injuries offer. Major League Baseball could create a DL for seven days only for players from concussions next season, said a person with the proposal, The Associated Press. DL again in addition to the 15 - and 60-day are already listing for injuries of 36 Bettis White Jersey
any kind, the person told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the proposal stage. It is the latest example of how the various leagues are looking for shock, an injury that has drawn more attention recently in football - and an injury which medical experts say, they are still in the process of understanding, especially when it comes to prevention and treatment. After a series of illegal hits this past weekend, the NFL will be penalized at least $ 50,000 in three players, and before that, warned that this week will be exposed to games for violent behavior. Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to teams on the importance of teaching safety techniques and controlled head-to focus and neck.Make no mistake: concussions can occur in all areas of the game and senior officials of Major League Baseball, NHL and NBA are monitoring the Development of the NFL.
It was a two-day summit to shocks in hockey at the Mayo Clinic this week for example. And now a word from DL 7 days will be formed to be considered after the person who described the proposal for the PA in the low season for a new subcommittee in shock Baseball Medical Advisory Committee.
If the subcommittee approved the idea would be approved by Commissioner Bud Selig, the players' union. A change at the injured list rules are subject to collective bargaining with the union.
All four major U.S. sports have approached each other on the political impact in recent years.
An example: The NFL decided last year that each team see an independent neurologist, the players, if they have a concussion, which has the NHL began in 1997, is identified.
I would say that 90 percent agree the sport now, and I said four or five years, said Mark Lovell, director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center sports medicine concussion program. Theres not much variability, how to manage the injury in the medical field. including NFL, NHL, Major League Soccer, racing cars and the Ski Team USA - - In general, the rules fairly served uniform.Lovell as a consultant in several sports and developed Neurocognitive tests used to establish a baseline, the results can be compared when to have the 36 Bettis Black Jersey
players a head injury.
NFL, NHL and Major League Baseball and minors are required to have the players take the exams. Some NBA teams do, said Lovell, but you're not sure concerned about bruises on the NBA to the extent that explains some of the most areas.That in collision sports, why the NBA - unlike NFL and NHL MLB - not an official policy of blackmail, said the spokesman Tim Frank league. But is not so eye, said Frank. It's just not a dominant theme in our league have now, but its certainly something to watch very closely.Indeed, the NBA still tracks the number of concussions players, the NHL and he has to be baseball, but none of them, the data available to the public. Explanation of the NHL spokesman Frank Brown: No measurable bruising of the relevant medical approach to prevent or changes in the rules and show respect for each player other.Every week, the official version of the NFL, the reports of injuries in the team team list of players and determine the nature of their injuries and how they in practice or a report for this week attended games. In a report published this week of practice from 24 leagues from 32 teams, 200 players are registered as with any type of damage - 15 or 7.5 percent, with a head injury, neck pain, headache concussion.
The NHL has seen head injuries as a high-profile players like Pat LaFontaine, Eric Lindros and Scott Stevens in the past. In baseball, the Twins have lost star racket Justin Morneau (notes) for the last three months of the season with a concussion, for example, while the Mets were a number of players with head injuries to David Wright (notes), Jason Bay (notes) and Ryan Church (notes).
And sports like NFL, responding.
In March, the NHL - he had to shocks from the 1990s - a ban imposed on visits to the shoulder above the legal head of a blind side players, a rare example of league rules change during a season. Although the NHL is not as far as banning all contact with the head, the bar, which is the most dangerous type of racing and now the players can be distributed by them gone.
League has no explicit rules for exactly how long a player must sit with a concussion, so Morneau was left out of the playoffs in July, while Chicago Bears Quart Jay Cutler, for example, only one game has lost this season after an injury . Lovell, concussion expert believes that inequality is correct, because the shock treatment by the health of the people should be guided rather than one-size-fits-all rules.
The injury varies from person to person, not just a sport to another. Theres still a lot that we do not know to shocks, and Id say 80 to 90 percent 10 Santonio Holmes White jersey
know what we we've learned over the last 10 years, said Lovell. This is how fast it moves. Each person is differently according to their Hockey Writer Ira Podell tolerance.AP in New York, AP Baseball Writer Jon Krawczynski in Minneapolis and AP Sports Writer Mike Fitzpatrick in New York contributed to this report.
