The concussion protocol for Tua Tagovailoa was never triggered during the Miami Dolphins’ loss to the Green Bay Packers last week, according to the findings of a joint review from the NFL and NFLPA.
Tagovailoa is currently in the concussion protocol after experiencing his second documented concussion of the season.
“The protocol is initiated when a player receives an impact to the head and exhibits or reports signs or symptoms suggestive of a concussion,” the NFL and NFLPA said in a joint statement Saturday. “The review established that symptoms of a concussion were neither exhibited nor reported until the following day at which time the team medical personnel appropriately evaluated and placed Mr. Tagovailoa in the concussion protocol.”
