Medical personnel caring for NFL players should no longer report to team management or coaches, according to a Harvard Law School report published Thursday.The recommendation comes in a 493-page report?following a two-year study by The Petrie-Flom Center at Harvard Law School?into the various stakeholders who influence, or could influence, the health of NFL players.Our report shows how the various stakeholders might work together to protect and support NFL players who give so much of themselves -- not without benefit, but sometimes with serious personal consequences -- to one of Americas favorite sports, said Glenn Cohen, professor of law at Harvard Law School and co-lead of the law and ethics initiative as part of the study. NFL football has a storied history and holds an important place in this country. The men who play it deserve to have their health safeguarded and their health concerns addressed. We hope our recommendations in the report serve as a catalyst for this important work.About 175 doctors work with NFL teams. While both players and teams have a shared interest in player health, the study notes that a player may feel compelled to return from an injury more quickly than recommended and that the doctors role as a team employee creates a conflict of interest in making those decisions.The intersection of club doctors dual obligations creates significant legal and ethical quandaries that can threaten player health, according to the report.The report instead recommends that doctors and trainers not directly communicate with teams about player health. It proposes a written Player Health Report that would include their condition, a recommended level of participation in practice and games, and an estimated time before they are back to full participation. Separate team doctors would have access to that report and could consult with team officials but would not handle any treatment.Also among the 76 recommendations in the report are that doctors treating players should be selected by a neutral committee with representation from both the NFL and NFL Players Association, that health issues should not be used in collective bargaining agreement negotiations and that there should be a separate short-term injured reserve for players diagnosed with a concussion.The NFL has challenged the studys findings. According to The Washington Post, Jeffrey Miller, the NFLs executive vice president of health and safety, sent the researchers a 33-page response rejecting the idea that NFL doctors have conflicts of interest. He called the studys proposed changes untenable and impractical.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league would study the report and discuss the recommendations with its clubs and medical staff and the union.The research was funded by the NFLPA, although Harvard officials insisted the research was independent of player or league influence.Additional reports are scheduled to be released regarding other legal and ethical issues affecting player health.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Bernie Williams Jersey .

He got a push from teammate Ben Kennedy on a late restart and held off a last-lap challenge by teammate Spencer Gallagher.Gallagher finished second, followed by Timothy Peters, Rico Abreu and Kennedy.The victory was Enfingers first in 13 career starts in the series, and comes as his future in racing is filled with uncertainty.Its unbelievable, said Enfinger. Its my home track. Its just so special. We came here as fans, thats how this whole thing started. It hasnt sunk in yet, it wont for a while.Enfinger planned to spend Saturday night camping in an RV armada seven strong with the same friends and family hes been coming to Talladega with most of his life. Worrying about his future could wait.He put the deal together to race at Talladega only a month ago and came with a brand-new truck he felt was the best in the fieeld on Saturday.dddddddddddd But hes got no plans for any more races this year and isnt sure what next year holds.Team owner Maury Gallagher said hed like to have something to offer Enfinger next season.This is a tough business, I wish it was less expensive, Gallagher said. Were working hard to get a program together for Grant for next year.Talladega was an elimination race in the inaugural Chase playoffs, and Daniel Hemric and John Hunter Nemechek were both knocked out as the field was trimmed from eight drivers to six.Advancing to the next round were Kennedy, Matt Crafton, Peters, Johnny Sauter and Christopher Bell.Kennedy and Sauter both drive for GMS Racing, which made Saturday a banner day for the organization.Nemcheks title hopes ended just 13 laps into the race when his engine expired. Hemric was in three separate incidents Saturday, including a 14-truck accident that badly damaged his Ford.Hemric finished 11th and missed advancing in the Chase by 13 points.Today was completely full of trials and trying to overcome things, Hemric said. All we can do now is try to win races. It wasnt for lack of effort. We got involved in three or four different situations there and never had the opportunity to get back to the front. ' ' '
