He said later that he was \u201cdisappointed\u201d about how long it took for the Chiefs doctors to see him in the locker room after leaving the field.<\/p>\n<div class=\"piano-newsletter-inline-in-article\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe respect the Ravens. We respect their medical staff. I respect\u00a0Kyle\u00a0as a player and I\u2019m pretty upset that he was upset,\u201d Burkholder said. \u201cWhen he went down, I went out there because I thought he had a head or neck injury. I asked their physician if they wanted an opthamologist at the time. They did not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The Ravens\u2019 medical staff decided later that\u00a0Van Noy\u00a0should have the eye specialist examine him after all, so they asked the Chiefs to summon the ophthalmologist. It took 12 minutes for the doctor to be found and reach the locker room.<\/p>\n<p>There is no\u00a0NFL\u00a0mandate to have an opthamologist or dentist available. The Chiefs provide both as courtesies to visiting teams.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry he was upset,\u201d Burkholder said. \u201cI think we worked it out with the Ravens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0NFL\u00a0likewise said in a statement Thursday night that it had discussed the case with officials from the the Ravens and Chiefs, and the league had determined that\u00a0Van Noy\u00a0received \u201cappropriate\u201d care from the Kansas City medical staff.<\/p>\n<aside><\/aside>\n<p>Van Noy\u00a0had made his displeasure known on his podcast Tuesday with retired defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you get hurt, especially something that can be serious like mine was, you\u2019re supposed to rely on the team\u2019s training staff or their doctors, and I was supposed to see an ophthalmologist,\u201d\u00a0Van Noy\u00a0said. \u201cThey took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room, which to me is unacceptable because then you start thinking, \u2019What if I was trying to go back in the game? What if I was really, really hurt? I know mine happened to be moderate, but it still was serious because it\u2019s an eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell, who visited the Ravens on Thursday as part of his league-wide tour, told reporters the medical treatment on-site should be provided \u201cas quickly as possible\u201d under the collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this was an unfortunate situation where that did not occur,\u201d Howell said. \u201cThank God for Kyle\u2019s situation (that) it wasn\u2019t worse. But here we are with the first game of the season; we got many more games to play. We just can\u2019t have that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0NFL\u00a0said in its statement that it was \u201cdisappointing the NFLPA would publicize unsupported conclusions without attempting to understand the facts\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
