They voted on concussions and that once a player is diagnosed with a concussion, depending on the severity, it is mandatory that they sit out a pre-determined number of games.
I may be incorrect, but concussions in the league have become a very hot topic from the league standpoint.
Coles may not have a choice about playing or not, there may be a league rule that forbids it. Anyone else have anything more, or heard this as well?

I haven't heard about making players take games off. What I think they did is make all the teams follow a specific pattern while dealing with concussions. Something like making players go through all the tests medically before ever having them step back on the field.
