I always stay away from an injury due to litigation concerns but I see nothing wrong in making a suggestion to a professional or the trainer on the scene. They can take it from there if they elect to use my opinion.
I also recommend that officials not even snap a players chin strap or shoulder pads! The next play, they could get injured, shoulder or something, I am sure someone would have a video. It sounds cruel, but that is the world we live in today.
I have seen players laying, especially the pee wee levels and coaches just tell them to get up. I am sure some of it is a child getting hurt for the first time and maybe scared but I feel all injuries should be looked at with concern.
