Dolphins' Teddy Bridgewater out, in protocol after hard hit
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is in the concussion protocol and was ruled out of Miami's 40-17 loss to the New York Jets after leaving the game in the first quarter.
Bridgewater was put into the protocol after the booth ATC spotter ruled him a "no-go" after he took a hit on Dolphins' opening offensive drive, in compliance with the NFL's amended concussion protocol. Bridgewater passed his concussion evaluation, according to a source, but the booth ATC spotter believed he saw Bridgewater stumble and triggered the new ataxia addition to the "no-go" symptoms in the protocol.
The Dolphins said that Bridgewater also had an elbow injury.
