[Tua Tagovailoa](/nfl/players/2741209/tua-tagovailoa/) endured a scary moment Thursday night when the Dolphins' quarterback was carted off the field after suffering head and neck injuries. Bridgewater admitted that it was initially hard to focus on his job after watching his teammate endure such a scary moment. After the game, the Dolphins said that Tagovailoa had instead sustained injuries to his back and ankle.

Not all teams are as seemingly negligent as the Dolphins in the case of Tagovailoa, but that doesn't change the league's bottom line of its players only ...

It’s a struggle to process how we can enjoy this sport without guilt, how a medical staff allowed this young man to take the field, how the league provides such little transparency on brain trauma to its players and fans. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel addressed the media following Miami’s loss to the Bengals and in one line demonstrated all the league’s ills when it comes to brain trauma messaging. That’s up to the players to take that risk. For example, they might get rid of the caveat that instability is a “no-go” symptom, meaning the player cannot play, unless the instability can be pegged to an orthopedic cause. Yes, they signed up to play football weighing the injuries risks against the benefits. The NFL, on the other hand, decided to add a 17th game because apparently the league needs more It’s also of the most telling signs of a concussion. The Dolphins called this a reaggravated back injury even though Tagovailoa never reached for his back. It’s possible that there will be changes to the NFL’s concussion protocol. The emotions and anger stemming from Thursday night’s concussion are compounded by the fact that Tagovailoa should not have even been on the active roster. All the play calling and blocking and stats pale in comparison to the night’s main storyline. The fingers contorted.

Together, they determine whether a player can return, with the team doctor having the ultimate say. For those who have pushed the N.F.L. “It’s pretty high on the list of serious medical consequences of football.” The process can take weeks. Now, the whole world watch as he lay on the field helpless. Already, Tagovailoa’s health was drawing renewed scrutiny of the N.F.L.’s problem with head hits and concussions.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered head and neck injuries in what was a scary scene Thursday night in Cincinnati. Here is what we know.

The quarterback tweeted Friday afternoon that he was "feeling much better and focused on recovering so I can get back on the field with my teammates." “The whole process for what happened in the Bills game, he was evaluated for a head injury immediately. I wouldn’t have put him out there if there was any inclination whatsoever if he was endangering himself from the previous game.” But McDaniel says he was quick to shut down any talk about football with Tagovailoa. There was no medical indication from all resources that there was anything regarding the head,” McDaniel said. [Tagovailoa was listed as questionable](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2022/09/29/qb-tagovailoa-listed-as-active-for-showdown-with-bengals/50788137/) with back and ankle injuries going into Thursday night. The Dolphins later said Tagovailoa suffered back and ankle injuries against the Bills. McDaniel said postgame that Tagovailoa was evaluated for a concussion and is in concussion protocol. The impact of the push caused Tagovailoa’s head to slam on the turf. “The timing of all of it. Tagovailoa was carted off the field on a stretcher and didn’t return. And all of his teammates were so elated,” McDaniel said Friday.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that Tua Tagovailoa was in the process of wrapping up an MRI, which he described as an extra precaution, ...

"It will never feel normal for me personally and the type of person I am -- I know you guys are just starting to learn -- is that I will never be comfortable with player getting carted off the field. I know that he was checked after [Sunday's] game, I know that he was checked the following day. "What I was kind of referring to in terms of not changing anything I do is because the whole process for what happened in the Bills game was he was evaluated for a head injury immediately. "If there would've been anything lingering with his head, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I prematurely put someone out there and put them in harm's way. "I appreciate all the concern really because I care about the guy and I appreciate all the concern for the individual," McDaniel said. He was evaluated and then cleared by several layers of medical professionals -- I don't pretend to be one -- but those people, the collection of them, cleared him of any head injury whatsoever and he had a back and ankle issue. So, in terms of deciding whether or not to play a guy on a Thursday night game, I'm concerned about his lower back and his ankle and putting him in harm's way. "It was difficult to not be able to finish the game and be there with my teammates, but I am grateful for the support and care I've received from the Dolphins, my friends and family, and all the people who have reached out. "I want to thank everyone for all of their prayers and support since the game last night," he said. Just worried about him getting healthy, getting all the testing done that he needs to get done and us working with him so that we can feel good about where that injury is at, and then we will cross the bridge in terms of timetables of however long. The NFL on Wednesday confirmed a review was ongoing, but every indication was that proper protocol Tagovailoa was discharged Thursday night in time to meet his team at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati wearing a neck brace and travel back to Miami after the Fins' 27-15 loss to the Bengals.

Four days after he was helped off the field with what looked like a head injury in a game against Buffalo, Tagovailoa played Thursday night.

That cost the Dolphins a first-round draft pick in 2023, a third-round pick in 2024, and Ross was suspended until Oct. Thursday night, NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith texted Whitworth: “We will pursue every legal option, including making referrals against the doctors to licensing agencies and the team that is obligated to keep our players safe.” Further, if he’d been diagnosed with a concussion, the five-step NFL concussion protocols would have kept him out of Thursday’s game, too. I was able to get myself through the test, explain that I’m fine, knowing that I had been dinged pretty good.” And, of course, after the 2018 season, former Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Seahawks headhunter Jadaveon Clowney in a playoff game. He spoke Friday morning, as the world awakened to film and images of the latest NFL miscarriage of safety: Tagovailoa on his back, seemingly paralyzed. Successful former coach Brian Flores accused Ross of offering him cash to lose (that claim was not substantiated), and Ross told him to recruit Tom Brady, then the Patriots quarterback. Nedd, a neurologist and the former team physician for the University of Miami’s football team. On Sunday, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion, obvious to anyone with eyes: He hit his head on the turf, rose, staggered, and left for examination. As if Tagovailoa hadn’t staggered to the locker room four days prior. Take their remaining first-round pick from the 2023 draft. It’s called “fencing reflex”: A person takes a head shot, falls, and his splayed fingers petrify into unnatural positions.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is in the concussion protocol after being stretchered off the field Thursday night and traveling with the Dolphins back to Miami.

No has to be the answer.'" "Our job as the NFLPA is to take every possible measure to get the facts and hold those responsible accountable. He added: "There was no medical indication from all resources that there was anything regarding the head. He stumbled when he got up and was immediately taken to the locker room, where he was evaluated for a concussion. "And no one else in the building strays from that." He returned to the game at the start of the third quarter and was not in the concussion protocol the following week, despite questions about why he was allowed to return to the game at all. "Obviously, I am upset and concerned just like any fan and just like any physician is any time one of our players suffers any type of injury," Sills said Friday. On the play, he spun awkwardly and was thrown to the turf. "My job as a coach is here for the players. McDaniel said Tagovailoa was interacting with teammates on the flight home. The Dolphins, amid a rebuild in 2020, drafted Tagovailoa No. Tagovailoa was sacked by Bengals defensive tackle Josh Topou late in the first half Thursday.

Four days after being allowed to play through concussion symptoms, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa lay motionless and concussed at Paycor Stadium. The ...

That is not what I’m about at all, and no outcome of a game will ever influence me being irresponsible as the head coach of the football team.” And how could McDaniel — who surely re-watched every second of the Buffalo game, including Tua’s stumble — not have questioned whether it was prudent for Tagovailoa to be cleared to play? [trading for the speedy Tyreek Hill](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/03/23/tyreek-hill-trade-dolphins/?itid=lk_inline_manual_24) and making him a $30 million-a-year receiver. He didn’t intend to dismiss the seriousness of a concussion, but that’s what he did. He needs to take as much time as he needs to recover, and more importantly, the Dolphins need to force him to do so. Every player on the 53-man roster deserves diligent medical care, but the quarterback is the most essential component of the team. It all added up to a complete institutional failure, for the Dolphins and the entire league. Tagovailoa is fortunate to be responding fairly well after the vicious incident. While it’s easy to lump this incident into all of Miami’s recent dysfunction, the truth is that any of the 32 teams could have messed up similarly. He left the game to be evaluated because he exhibited what is listed as “gross motor instability” in the current NFL concussion safety playbook. The Dolphins won, 21-19, over a Buffalo squad that might be the league’s most dominant team. On Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa was slammed to the turf in the second quarter.

The former football player and pro wrestler turned neuroscientist told Deadspin that the Miami QB needs to put his health first.

This is an ongoing calamity, despite [ESPN’s report](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34692842/miami-dolphins-quarterback-tua-tagovailoa-taken-hospital-head-neck-injuries) that Tua’s “in good spirits” after flying back with the team post-discharge from a Cincinnati hospital. One of the factors is complete transparency on how serious concussions and CTE are. It was their final, most essential command.” Looking at Tagovailoa on Sunday, no matter how you diagnose his injury, throwing him back into the fire on Thursday was a tremendous mistake.

The Dolphins quarterback's week exposed a dangerous loophole in the league's concussion protocol, which has never been more important.

In the heat of the moment, the team doctor (or the independent neurologist) could, on paper, determine that Tagovailoa’s stumbling was caused by his back, and not his head, and send him back into what was a very big game for the Dolphins. And then, because of that result, there’d be no requirement for further testing, with motivation, at that point, for everyone involved (doctors, team, player, league) to confirm the original finding—because if they were wrong on Sunday, what would that say about them? Once Tagovailoa was cleared and went back into the game on Sunday, there wasn’t a requirement for him to enter the concussion protocol during the week. Lavay, along the way, implored others to let him play, because he was so close to hitting markers for the million-dollar bonus. There would also be the question of whether there was any follow-up testing after the game or during the week to confirm it. Under Step 2, observable signs, there are two check boxes: one for “witnessed” and the other for “observed on video,” meaning either applies. There are four steps to the test: red flags, observable signs, memory assessment using Maddocks questions and examination using the Glasgow Coma Scale. And while that didn’t stop the Dolphins from taking you as the fifth pick in the 2020 NFL draft, for whatever the reason, be it the injuries or your size or your athletic limitations, your coach and your team’s owner your first two years never fully buy into you. Which is why I think it’s so important that all of us ask the right questions now. But one of the greatest things about football, how it teaches the people who play it to keep going when things get hard, is also what can create scenes such as Would you have self-reported concussion symptoms, if you had them, during the Bills game on Sunday? At Alabama, many of those dreams and aspirations were fulfilled, but your future was also thrown into flux with two high-ankle sprains that led to
