Sports related concussion is an area of the field that has blown up in the past handful of years, so I thought it might be helpful to discuss relevant articles. What have people read that they thought was a worthwhile contribution to the literature?

All excellent references.

McCrea's "Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Postconcussion Syndrome: The New Evidence Base for Diagnosis and Treatment (2007) is a great read, particularly for anyone who regularly works with concussions/mTBI/PCS/etc.
