According to a tweet by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was cleared from concussion protocol and will return from his absence in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tagovailoa, who suffered a concussion on Thursday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals a few days after being questionably cleared to return after what appeared to be a head injury against the Buffalo Bills, led the Dolphins to a 3-0 record before going down with the injury.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added that Tagovailoa suffered no setbacks throughout the process, while Schefter’s tweet noted that he received four additional opinions outside of team doctors who cleared him for the protocol.
