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.

If you want to deep dive further on the topic, the state has data going back well over a decade. Click here for more information.

The Ocean State Job Lot store in Groton is closing.

The store, located at 941 Poquonnock Road, will close in mid-October.

A pre-closing sale started on Thursday and items are being offered at 30% off, according to a news release.

Employees will be offered an equivalent position at a nearby Ocean State Job Lot, according to a statement.

As a thank you to our loyal customers before we close this location, we are pleased to offer the community a 30-percent sale storewide with a few exceptions,” John Conforti, chief financial officer of Ocean State Job Lot, said in a statement.
