I believe the protocol is that the concussion spotters in NY have the power to pull any player out of the game if they see an event occur that may have caused a concussion. Once pulled off, that player is not allowed back into the game until cleared by the league concussion protocol team and the team's doctors. So, based on this, I would imagine that regardless the outcome of the examination, the team's doctors will recommend he remain out of the game considering the score at that time and the time remaining.

I think Johnny will be okay.
