Owens suffered a concussion in week 5 against the Packers with about 4:25 left in the 2nd quarter. It wasn't totally clear to me if he got the concussion from making the tackle, although it was a pretty hard hit and it looked like he had helmet contact. When he was getting up after making the tackle his teammate Akeem Dent slapped him in the helmet pretty hard in celebration. I don't think Owens saw it coming and it appeared to shake him up even more. Have the Falcons or anyone addressed Dent's role in the concussion if any? Did he cause it, make it worse, or have no impact at all? Do any teams specifically forbid their players from doing this in celebration? I see it all the time and it can't be good, even with a helmet on you can still hurt your neck by getting jacked at the wrong angle unexpectedly.
