After taking that terrifying hit against the wall, Tua did not attend Weeks 5 and 6 of concussion protocol. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bengals?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bengals<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/nfl?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#nfl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/dolphins?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#dolphins<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/finsup?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#finsup<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P2Lvp7kEKx\">pic.twitter.com\/P2Lvp7kEKx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Josh Moser (@TheMozKnowz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheMozKnowz\/status\/1607508276509347841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Three times this season Tagovailoa has smashed his head. The first mishap occurred during the Dolphin\u2019s late September game against the Buffalo Bills and the second four days later when he was thrown to the ground by Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Josh Tupou, knocked unconscious and subsequently taken off the field on a stretcher. The NFL\u2019s concussion protocol was instituted, but after the most recent hit on Sunday, Tagovailoa did not leave the game and the protocol was not implemented. Chris Nowinski was co-founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation and its CEO after the Bengals incident. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/sports\/miami-qb-tagovailoa-stretchered-field-sack-vs-bengals-rcna50124\">condemned<\/a> The fact that Tagovailoa was allowed play for four days after Bills&#8217; hit is a sign that Tagovailoa was permitted to continue playing. \u201cWhat happened to Tua was shameful. People should lose their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur game has kind of moved to the softer side. Roughing the passer, it\u2019s more like touching the passer now,\u201d Griffin III spoke on ESPN. \u201cBut when we talk about these head injuries, it\u2019s nothing to play with.\u00a0You\u2019ve got to put the person before the player. I\u2019m more concerned about Tua and his longevity of life than I am about whether he is going to play on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019ve seen guys like Luke Kuechly,\u00a0 a teammate of mine, Jordan Reed, have to retire because of these head injuries,\u201d he continued as he turned to fellow commentator Booger McFarland. \u201cBooger, you know this: Guys have gone off the field and done things to hurt themselves and their families because of things that were suffered on the field, CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), all those things come into play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo 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 incidents, it\u2019s a repeat,\u201d He was insistent. \u201cAnd the hit that he really suffered the concussion on, or we think he suffered the concussion on, it wasn\u2019t that violent of a hit. It was a routine play. But because his head smacked off the ground the repeat of all of those hits are starting to add up. So I\u2019m more concerned about Tua and his family than I am about him playing the rest of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mike McDaniel is the Dolphins&#8217; coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamidolphins.com\/news\/transcript-mike-mcdaniel-s-media-availability-december-26\">commented<\/a> Monday \u201cAs far as the game was concerned, no one recognized anything with regard to any sort of hit. I care very deeply about each and every player. I just want him to get healthy and have peace of mind in that regard. Whatever those circumstances are, you deal with after. It\u2019s about the human being and making sure he\u2019s squared away.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa\u2019s head hit the ground hard after being tackled by the Green Bay Packers\u2019 Kingsley Enagbare on Christmas Day, Robert Griffin III, former star quarterback for the Washington Redskins, urged Tagovailoa to sit out the rest of the season because of concussion risk.
