Overview

  • The league fined the Giants $200,000, head coach Brian Daboll $100,000 and running back Cam Skattebo $15,000 for protocol violations tied to Dart’s Oct. 9 evaluation.
  • Investigators found Daboll and Skattebo entered the blue tent and spoke with Dart before the exam was complete, creating the perception of interference.
  • The NFL and NFLPA concluded the club’s medical staff and unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant properly followed all required concussion-protocol steps.
  • The Giants have completed remedial actions that include additional staff and player training and tighter controls on medical-tent access during evaluations.
  • The review drew on reports, video and interviews with team and independent medical personnel, coaches and players, and followed a league reminder to clubs about tent access rules.
