@NFL
My understanding of the Tua Tagovailoa situation: He tweaked his back in the 1st quarter on a sneak and didn’t miss time. After the Matt Milano hit, his back locked up — leading to him wobbling. Into the locker room for a full concussion check. Fully cleared. Now on the field.

Broken system. I was on the sideline very close to Brate-obvious he had his bell rung. There’s a league appointed spotter in the press box who should stop play & alert the referee. Brate shouldn’t have been allowed to return until after an evaluation. Why didn’t that happen???

This is a great conversation on the role of the head coach as a 2nd line of defense for protecting players.
Doctors can make mistakes and coaches should feel free to overrule them - but ONLY when erring on the side of caution.

You don't hear this often & it is concerning. Post-traumatic amnesia means Hurst was or is having trouble forming new memories & possibly remembering old ones. I hope he takes his time and recovers fully.
@haydenrhurst
has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Amnesia by an independent neurologist as a result of the hit he took in Chicago November 9. Slow recovery, don’t know when he’ll be back. Prayers appreciated!

The continued confident ignorance of Coach Mike McDaniel on
#concussions
is astonishing.
Tua's in real danger playing for this guy again.
Concussion tests are 100% accurate?
He did media interviews so he's fine?
He can't seriously believe these things.

It's not fair to give kids CTE.
Head shots are inappropriate at age 10.

PARENTS, you need to know that if you follow NFL's example & dismiss on field signs, your child can die.
Below are athletes who have died from second-impact syndrome.❤️❤️

To my knowledge zero
#NFL
players have had 3 diagnosed concussions in a season.
Miami still denies the 1st, but this is unprecedented. All eyes will be on the team & the NFL.
That said, spoke to a former NFL player who was knocked out 3x in one game before they tracked them.
Are there any NFL players who have suffered 3 concussions in one season like Tua seemingly has now?

Everyone is focused on the fumble, but if you watched Godwin's head slam the ground in slo-mo, & the fact he didn't chase his own fumble in this video, the eye in the sky has to call down to have him evaluated for a

The FOX cameraman & producer hold on him way too long to try to help the

Fingers crossed Tua Tagovailoa doesn't become the first
#NFL
player in modern history - and possibly ever - to have 3 diagnosed
#concussions
in a season
(yes, I know the Dolphins are still covering up the 1st concussion, & that's the problem)
Dolphins’ QB Tua Tagovailoa was cleared from concussion protocol today, per sources. He will be inactive on Sunday vs. the Vikings, but he is expected to return for Week 7 vs. the Steelers.

Wait for a response? Come on Kevin, the protocol is breached weekly. No one is punished. We pretend it didn't happen. The docs are supposed protect these men from severe brain injury & death. If they aren't required to watch the video before clearing them, NFL just doesn't care.
We should await response from the Texans before judging their medical staff for returning QB Tom Savage to today's game after a brutal hit that left him, at the very least, stunned for several seconds on the ground. But to be clear, the NFL supplies...

I cannot believe the

protocol in the 2nd week with Cam Newton. Heads need to roll, and I’m not talking about the helpless
#concussed
players who are receiving negligent medical care
NFL's new concussion-related rules say any player who stumbles or falls when attempting to stand must be taken to the locker room for an evaluation.
