The NFLPA is investigating if Minnesota Vikings guard Brandon Fusco played with a concussion last Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

According to Pro Football Talk, citing a league source, the game’s ATC spotter failed either to recognize or act in response to Fusco apparently struggling to get to his feet after a block that included helmet-to-helmet contact.

The spotter now has the power to stop the game and require an immediate examination of an injured player.

The change came, at least in part, after New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman needed to be examined for a concussion during February’s Super Bowl. Despite that, the spotter was not allowed to have Edelman closely examined until after that drive ended.
