Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
Tagovailoa was placed in concussion protocol after a heavy hit against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4, which makes this the second time Miami’s quarterback entered the protocol this season.
Players on the Miami Dolphins met with the media on Wednesday, the first time since the news of Tagovailoa’s concussion surfaced.
“It’s tough, man,” receiver Jaylen Waddle said of Tagovailoa’s injury. “But he’s a competitor. He’s going to be around throughout the week helping us out and getting us ready for the game.
