Data check: Connecticut youth concussions
A troubling concussion seen by millions on a nationally televised NFL game Thursday night had people once again visiting the issue of concussions in youth sports.
We’re talking about a play during Thursday Night Football where the Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a scary concussion.
He has had a long history with this injury.
In Connecticut, concussions have been top of mind for some time, and so there’s robust state data on the subject.
The good news: reports of concussions in students grades 6 to 12 dropped by roughly half over the past decade, totaling just over 3,000 statewide in the last recorded school year.
