Yesterday, the NFL Player’s Association fired the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant who cleared Miami Dolphins quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, to play after showing signs of a concussion last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Tua took a hit and lost his footing as he got up and moved around, which is one of the signs of head trauma. Tua was evaluated and passed the concussion protocol because it was believed that the symptoms were from a back injury. The NFLPA found that the consultant made several mistakes not just on Sunday, but during the days leading up to Thursday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
