The NFL and players association released a joint statement Saturday concerning the investigation into how the Dolphins handled Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion check during their Week 3 game against the Bills.
The two parties agreed protocols were properly applied but found they were insufficient. In turn, the concussion protocols have been updated and will be in effect starting Sunday, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Both agreed “the outcome in this case is not what was intended when the Protocols were drafted. As such, as has been done in previous cases, based on the advice of the parties’ respective medical experts, the Protocol will be modified to enhance the safety of the players.”
