According to Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for the next game against the New England Patriots. Teddy Bridgewater will start for Miami.
Tagovailoa is in concussion protocol for the second time this season and has been the poster child for reviewing the NFL’s concussion protocols. On Sunday, he suffered his latest concussion in Miami’s 26-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Tagovailoa was not removed from the game and did not display concussion symptoms until he reported to the team’s facilities on Monday.
The Dolphins need wins in their final two games, or a win and some help, to make the playoffs for the first time in five seasons.
