NFLPA is now reviewing the Tua Tagovailoa concussion that happened before the Dolphins meltdown against the Packers
Tua Tagovailoa is back in the concussion protocol and it has to worry the Dolphins fans because he has suffered three major head injuries this year, even though the team claimed the first injury against the Bills was a back injury.
Well, the NFLPA is now reviewing the last concussion incident. According to Pro Football Talk, the union will review the incident. It is a standard protocol.
According to Pro Football Talk, this could turn into a full blown investigation.
The NFLPA quite possibly will see enough during its own review to request a full-blown joint investigation with the NFL. A joint investigation occurred after the failure to remove Tagovailoa from a Week Three game between the Bills and Dolphins, after Tua’s head struck the turf and he showed signs of gross motor instability. The union, as part of the review, exercised its prerogative to terminate the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultant who was involved in the evaluation.
I wonder what is going to happen with Tua. Everyone is calling for the Dolphins to shut him down for the rest of the season, but I think the player should have the right to determine if he should keep going if he clears the protocol. What do you think?
