The NFL and NFL Players Association agree that concussion monitoring is a high priority, with a mission to be more proactive at all game sites, but the two sides offer conflicting versions of a plan under discussion to place a medical observer inside the NFL command center. League spokesman Greg Aiello downplayed an emphatic statement by NFLPA medical director Dr. Thom Mayer, who Saturday night said that starting Sunday the union would place an observer in the NFL command center in New York to monitor any obvious concussions. Dr. Mayer said an observer in the league command center, where all games are shown via live feed on big-screen monitors, would be an experiment toward the next step in concussion monitoring. However, Aiello said, "There have been internal discussions that included having someone in the command center, but that won't happen today and there's not a lot of interest on our side in doing that. The more likely scenario is placing someone at each game site, but there's no timetable for starting it."
