Well, he IS hurt. He has a laceration behind his ear(s) and bumps all over his head. Often times, the concussion symptoms don't occur for days after the initial injury.
I'm sorry but I can see no reason to fault him for taking precautionary measures with his brain, especially when there's so much that doctors and science don't know about brain function and trauma.

The initial sideline test is that. ONCE in the lockeroom there's more to it iirc. I read about it recently, I'll see if I can find an article.
It's a bad look to say he's asymptomatic and not play. Not necessarily on him, but on the whole ordeal.
