Wray Morrison: Risks involved

Zach Collaros has missed 23 of 108 games for the CFL teams he has played for since 2013 due to injury.

That doesn’t include the games that he started, then came out of. So I wasn’t surprised during his news conference on Wednesday when he said he didn’t feel the CFL did enough to protect quarterbacks.

This is a player that is returning in 2019, after suffering two concussions in 2018.

I welcome all player safety studies, and the subsequent actions to keep players safe at every level of tackle football.

Thanks to advancements in medicine we know more about the human body than we did two decades ago.

It is the responsibility of those in charge, to adjust rules in the name of maintaining player health, based on what we have learned in recent years.

However, football is a fast-paced, collision-based sport. Injuries are going to be part of such sports.

There is only so much that can be done. Football will never be injury or concussion-free.
