Former NFL Quarterback Robert Griffin III feels the Dolphins should bench Tua Tagovailoa the rest of the year
On Monday, Miami head coach Mike McDaniel shared the news that Tagovailoa has been placed in the league-mandated concussion protocol after exhibiting symptoms earlier in the day.
Following the news that Tua suffered a head injury, Robert Griffin III has seen enough and firmly believes Tagovailoa should be shut down for the rest of the year.
“Our game has kind of moved to the softer side. Roughing the passer, it’s more like touching the passer now, he said on ESPN on Monday night. “But when we talk about these head injuries, it’s nothing to play with.”
“You’ve got to put the person ahead of the player. I’m more concerned about Tua and his longevity of life than whether he is going to play on Sunday. So my mind is on ‘What does this look like for Tua in the future?’. He should not play for the rest of the season, whether you call it two concussions or three, two incidents or three, it’s a repeat.”
Do you feel the NFL should step in? How many concussions should a player go through before the NFL steps in.
