The point is, he WAS removed for concussion symptoms and the rule and state law say he should be done for the day. He was not.
Who is at fault?

Keep trying John....
A player is on the bench, complains that his head hurts, is evaluated by a MD who tells the HC said player is done due to the concussion protocol.
Nobody tells the officials.......
Said player "feels better" and enters the field after a change of possession (after he talked to an assistant) and participates in the next series......
How is the official responsible if he's not notified?
And again......how do you know what the trainer /doctor observed when he/she was on the filed attending to the player?
You don't know...... stop guessing !!
