The NFL and NFLPA released the results of their review regarding the handling of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's case following an apparent head injury on Sept. 25
In a joint statement, both parties agreed that "the outcome in this case is not what was intended when the protocols were drafted."
Tagovailoa was injured in consecutive games, the Dolphins' win over the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 25, and then the following Thursday, Sept. 29, in a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
"While the investigation determined that the team medical staff and unaffiliated medical professionals followed the steps of the protocol as written, the NFL and NFLPA agree that the outcome in this case is not what was intended when the protocols were drafted," the statement said.
