After Tua Tagovailoa entered concussion protocol for the second time this season, the NFLPA has “initiated” an investigation into the handling of the matter, according to ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques.
The Dolphins quarterback landed back in protocol this week after suffering a concussion against the Packers, coach Mike McDaniel confirmed. He said Wednesday, “This is a private time for him to focus on his health. ... This is a human being. His health is the first, foremost and only priority.” It’s expected Teddy Bridgewater will be the starter against the Patriots this weekend.
Although Tagovailoa played the entire game against Green Bay, he reported concussion symptoms to the franchise on Monday. This is the second concussion and investigation the quarterback has endured this season.
