It’s been a rough few weeks for NFL head injuries. Tua Tagovailoa has famously suffered two very scary head injuries. A lot of scrutiny has come on the league regarding their procedures around head injuries and player who look like they’re stumbling around.

Of course, it had to happen again, as another nationally televised game had a player look visibly shaken up.

Colts Running Back Nyheem Hines took a big hit and was stumbling around

In the first quarter of Thursday night’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos, he got hit hard and was seen stumbling.

Stumbling around like that is never a good thing.

Here’s a good look at the hit.


Credit to this Denver Broncos staffer who instantly saw Hines not looking quite right and ran out to stabilize him.

This comes at an inpopportune time for the NFL as it seems like for the first time in years they have let their concussion protocols back into the news in a negative way. Having another player stubmling around, even if the situation was handled correctly, is just poor timing.

The running back has been ruled out for the rest of the game.

People are discussing the injury.

It does seem like there have been a lot of these happening lately. Maybe that’s just because we are looking for it, but I certainly notice it more.

Of course, people had to take shots at the Miami Dolphins and their handling of Tua Tagovailoa.

Lots of people had bets on Hines, too. Those people weren’t happy. But, Draftkings announced they will be refunding Hines-involved prop bets.
