Greg Cote: Unfair to Dolphins for armchair experts who have never examined Tua to malign team doctors

But everything changed Thursday night, as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa lay motionless on the football field, and in the ugly aftermath as speculation and innuendo went malignant and metastasized across Twitter and social media.
