I think Dungy is sanctimonious and an iffy-at-best Christian (due to his homphobia), but there is simply NO WAY he's putting a player in a dangerous situation. The NFL wouldn't let him, either. This is a non-story and a silly thread unworthy of this site.
This seems a little naive to me. If Dungy thought that Jackson or Keiaho were at enhanced risk of a dangerous injury on Sunday, I agree he wouldn't put them on the field regardless of the game. The danger is not immediate though. Dungy won't be coaching when these guys would be dealing with the potential fallout from multiple concussions in a short period of time.
I have no idea if Jackson or Keiaho are going to go down with a concussion on Sunday and I really hope they don't. But if they do, they are one step closer to some potentially severe consequences down the road.
As for the NFL policing this, that really is naive. The doctors that give the player clearance to play (the only safeguard in the equation) are team/NFL sponsored and are using guidelines that are at odds with recent studies.
This was a fairly big story earlier this year so I'm not sure why it would be a non-story now.
