The Seattle Seahawks’ lightning-fast treatment of quarterback  Russell Wilson  on Thursday night violated the NFL’s concussion protocol  ESPN reports.
 Wilson   who spent a few moments in the sideline tent  did not leave the field and was not cleared by a team doctor and an independent physician  as the rules require. After a third-quarter hit to the chin by Arizona linebacker Karlos Dansby  referee Walt Anderson sent  Wilson  off to be tested. The telecast showed  Wilson  running off the field and sitting down to have the tent erected over  him . However   he  jumped up before medical personnel arrived and was on the field after being replaced by Austin Davis for one play.
 He  was on the field for two plays before the Seahawks punted and  with Arizona’s offense on the field   he  entered the tent for a longer time.  He  returned to the field when the Seahawks got the ball back. The league’s policy requires players to be cleared by a team physician and an independent neurological consultant before returning to practice or play.
