"Effective immediately, the new policy, issued by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, expands the list of symptoms that would preclude a player from returning to a game or practice on the same day.

The symptoms include:

* Being unable to remember assignments or plays or other signs of confusion

* Gap in memory

* Abnormal neurological examination, including abnormal pupillary response, persistent dizziness or vertigo, and abnormal balance on sideline testing

* New and persistent headache, especially if accompanied by sensitivity to light, nausea, and vomiting

* Loss of consciousness

The new policy also establishes rules for when a player can return to game action after being removed for the duration of a practice or game.

"The player should not be considered for return-to-football activities until he is fully asymptomatic, both at rest and after exertion, has a normal neurological examination, normal neuropsychological testing, and has been cleared to return by both his team physician(s) and the independent neurological consultant," the policy states.

All teams have selected an independent neurologist and they have been approved by the league.

Moore must pass all the tests by both the team docs as well as the independent docs before he can even practice. He can feasibly play next week, but right now I'd say the odds are not in his favor since Fox would like nothing more than play Clausen.
