Wednesday's health and safety news from the world of football:
- Education Week reported on a study that examined the effectiveness of Washington state's concussion law, which now has been on the books for five years.
According to a paper published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, the study showed that coaches are retaining concussion training.
