Put A Band-Aid On It, Kid, It's A Close Game

It appears that Kris Dielman of the San Diego Chargers will be retiring at just 31, and the reason might be because of this incident from October, in which he got a concussion in a game and kept playing, and subsequently had a seizure on the team plane. Deadspin seems to be among the few outlets making the connection and placing the blame for the retirement on the doctors. Whether the doctors overlooked a concussion or not, this is yet another in what is becoming a long line of cases that indicate something is very, very wrong with how the NFL's been handling head injuries to date, even after the headlines of recent years about former players' problems.
