PHILADELPHIA -- This was supposed to be a new era, the era of concussion awareness. Then came what happened here on a fine Sunday afternoon.


Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb was dragged down from behind by Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews. Kolb's head slammed to the ground. From the press box, it was clear that something was wrong with Kolb as he walked off the field. The Eagles initially announced Kolb had a jaw injury. He returned to the game.


So, too, did Stewart Bradley. His concussion was even more frightening. Bradley smashed his head on the knee of fellow Eagles linebacker Ernie Sims. When Bradley rose to his feet, he stumbled sideways and fell back to the ground. He resembled a fighter whose head was destroyed by a right hook.


There was an audible gasp from some in the crowd after watching Bradley stumble. Bradley, like Kolb, was examined briefly by the medical staff. Bradley, like Kolb, returned to the game.


Coach Andy Reid said both Kolb and Bradley were initially cleared by the medical staff on the sideline. It was decided at halftime to sit them.


"They were fine," Reid said. "All of the questions they answered with the doctors registered well, but as it went on, they weren't feeling well. So we took them out."


But they weren't fine. Particularly in the case of Bradley, who was obviously concussed. You could see he was punch drunk. So why was he returned?


The two hits -- and how the Eagles dealt with them -- demonstrated that teams and players still either don't know how to handle their concussed players, or they do and are still ignoring how serious concussions are to the body.


The Eagles are a good organization filled with good people. I know many of them. I refuse to believe they don't care about their players but there went Kolb and Bradley back into the game after they were clearly woozy.
