The National Football League announced there will be neurological consultants for every team on the sidelines during games in the 2013 season, according to a report from The Inquisitr.
The league hopes providing neurological consultants will help take concussed athletes out of the game more quickly and reduce the risk of injury, according to the report. The neurological consultants will join team physicians to work with athletes after a concussion.
