NFLPA’s Winston rips Marvin Lewis

Players Association president Eric Winston criticized Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis for downplaying head injuries.

“Always good to see the NFL educating their HCs on health/safety. Glad they are taking the lead on serious issues like concussions. #sarcasm,” Winston wrote (@ericwinston) on Twitter.

Lewis was asked if he was concerned about middle linebacker Vontaze Burfict as a player and a person because of his history of head injuries and helmet-to-helmet hits.

“Again, I coached defense and linebackers for a long time and concussions didn’t linger,” Lewis said. “Now we’ve found that because of the media and things they seem to linger longer. There’s a lot of attention paid to it. I don’t know why they linger longer, but I don’t remember them lingering like they do now.”

Asked later to clarify, Lewis declined, saying he probably should not have spoken on the topic the first time.

“Perpetuating the idea that it’s the medias fault that concussions “longer” longer just shows how far we still have to go in educating every1,” Winston wrote.

Burfict has been fined four times in his career and missed two games this season because of a head injury.
