Steve Borthwick says Eddie Jones guidance is the reason he is on the brink of joining the Lions coaching staff. Warren Gatland will next month name his backroom staff for the 2017 tour of New Zealand, and Borthwick is a candidate to make the trip as forwards coach.Jones worked with Borthwick during his time in Japan and recruited the 37-year-old shortly after taking charge of England, who have since won the Grand Slam and beaten Australia away from home.

Medical officials went on the field Thursday night to check Cam Newton after a helmet-to-helmet hit and determined he showed no signs of a concussion, an NFL source confirmed to ESPN.NFL Network reported Friday night that medical officials went to the field while play was stopped after the hit on Newton late in the fourth quarter in the?Carolina Panthers 21-20 loss to the Denver Broncos.The medical officials looked at the hit, which left the quarterback facedown on the turf and looking shaken, on video, then went to Newton.

Only one penalty was called -- on the last hit -- but was negated by an intentional grounding penalty called on Newton.Panthers coach Ron Rivera questioned the non-callls but did not question the officials or doctors for not placing Newton in the concussion protocol.ddddddddddddIm not going to question the doctors. OK? Rivera said. There is a protocol. There is a set of rules that these doctors, these trained professionals have to follow. The understanding is when everything first happened, they followed the protocol.Rivera said the team doctor and unaffiliated neurological consultant agreed that Newton did not show symptoms of a concussion to the point they felt he needed to leave the game. Neither did the officials on the field or the replay booth.Team officials said Newton was asked questions four times after the game -- in the locker room, on the bus ride to the airport, on the plane and back in Charlotte -- to make sure there were no side effects from the hits to the head.Rivera said he passed all of them.
