Frontline Concussion Watch

For those who haven't seen it, the PBS series Frontline has an application on its website that tracks all disclosed NFL concussions each year, and makes it easy to sort concussion info by season, team, position, and individual player. I've posted the link below. The info collected by Frontline is only based on weekly NFL injury reports, and thus does not include concussions suffered in the preseason or, obviously, concussions that went unreported by teams (see my blog "Beating Around the Bush" for further commentary).

The application has data from the 2012-2015 seasons. I'm hoping that the site will eventually track the data from the 2016 season, but I'm not sure if it normally collects week-by-week, or just posts everything at the end of the season.
