The NFL Players Association and executive director DeMaurice Smith emailed a memo to its membership Friday about the health and safety changes the union has helped to create this season, NFL Media's Albert Breer reported.
Breer obtained a copy of the memo, which outlines three areas that the union says it helped to change this season: an updated set of concussion protocols, an independent neurologist on the sideline and a concussion tip sheet for the players.
Smith also congratulated the union for creating health and safety changes in the game.
