WASHINGTON (AP) -Redskins general manager Bruce Allen says the team is inviting 500 area high school football coaches to a concussion forum during a minicamp next month.
Speaking Wednesday at a panel discussion as part of Brain Injury Awareness Day on Capitol Hill, Allen said the Redskins have sent a letter to coaches in Washington, Maryland and Virginia, asking them to attend practice at new head coach Mike Shanahan’s first minicamp and participate in an information session about concussions.
Allen said the Redskins want to “teach them what we have learned” about head injuries in football and “expose them to all the information we have, because it does trickle down.”
Redskins running back Clinton Portis missed the second half of last season because of a concussion.
