Following a difficult year that saw him land in the league’s concussion protocol twice, Tua Tagovailoa is not more susceptible to concussions than any other player, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Monday.
Speaking to reporters alongside coach Mike McDaniel in his final press conference of the 2022 season, Grier explained that he was told the positive news by doctors after the quarterback was diagnosed with concussions on two separate occasions this year.
Tagovailoa did not play in Miami’s season finale against Buffalo due to a concussion suffered during the team’s Week 16 game vs. the Packers. Rookie seventh-round pick Skylar Thompson got the start and nearly led the Dolphins to an improbable upset, ultimately coming up short in a 34–31 loss.
