The National Football League is looking into the U.S. Army’s discovery of a blood test to diagnose hard-to-detect concussions.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the co-chairs of the league’s Head, Neck and Spine Committee met last week with Gen. Peter Chiarelli, the Army vice chief of staff, at the Seattle Seahawks’ offices to discuss the research, league spokesman Greg Aiello said yesterday in an e-mail.
