CFL BLITZ: League streamlines concussion testing with new software
Summary
“We’re taking the CFL’s concussion policy, which includes certain tests and workflows, and we’re putting that into a digital platform that is run on your phone, tablet or computer, and making it quicker and easier to do what they’re already supposed to be doing,” said Harrison Brown, HeadCheck’s CEO. “Their application streamlines our record-keeping and that’s an important element of consistent and comprehensive care,” said Kevin McDonald, the CFL’s vice-president of football operations and player safety. They lost QB Jeremiah Masoli for the year with an ACL tear and are without key receiver and return man Brandon Banks, who didn’t practise early in the week. Rene Paredes kicked the Stamps to a modest win over Ottawa last week, and if that’s all the Calgary offence has in the tank against the Eskimos on Saturday, they will be humbled at home. With the return of starting QB Dom Davis, they will be in better shape behind centre, and chances are Rick Campbell will be smarter on the sidelines after surrendering a safety that led to a one-point loss to Calgary last week.
