We have seen no proven performance enhancement and minimal risk. Team medical staffs monitor all aspects of their players' care." Smelling salts are typically used when a player is light headed or blacked out on the field. When a player comes up dizzy due to a hit from another player, the team trainers bring out smelling salts to revive them.

However, the league is trying to fix the way concussions are dealt with. How the NFL and NFLPA are dealing with concussions
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa versus the Buffalo Bills The NFLPA opened an investigation into the Dolphins organization after Tagovailoa returned to the team's Week 3 game versus the Buffalo Bills. The quarterback was visibly unstable after taking a hit from linebacker Matt Milano.

Furthermore, the NFLPA fired the neurotrama consultant involved in the decision-making of allowing the Miami quarterback to return to the game. A few days later, the former Alabama quarterback started for the team versus the Cincinnati Bengals. In the second quarter, he took another big hit from Bengals defensive lineman Josh Tupou.

He was taken to the hospital for head and neck injuries after leaving the game on a stretcher. The NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed to a framework of modernizing concussion protocols that will sit players who show gross motor instability, as Tagovailoa did against the Bills. In a joint statement by the NFL and NFLPA, they discussed the agreement on updated protocols, saying:
"The joint NFL-NFLPA investigation into the application of the Concussion Protocol involving Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remains ongoing.
