A TIA is a Transient Ischemic Attack, a ministroke with the same mechanism and features, but more brief and no lasting effects.
A TIA is a major risk factor for a bigger one though.
Another possibility is a Petit Mal Absence seizure, where speech and awareness is impaired but motor function persists.
His age would certainly favour a TIA though.
As the reporter mentioned, effects from postconcussion syndrome seem unlikely. It's more likely related to whatever caused his loss of consciousness resulting in the concussion itself in the first place.
