Dolphins’ McDaniel Explains Why He Felt Comfortable Playing Tua Tagovailoa

The Dolphins handling of Tua Tagovailoa continues to be at the forefront of the industry, as the quarterback suffered a neck and head injuries just four days after it seemed like he suffered a head injury on Sunday.

Miami coach Mike McDaniel maintains that, despite what it looked like vs. Buffalo, Tagovailoa wasn’t concussed on Sunday, which is why he was comfortable playing him on Thursday.

“There was no medical indication from all resources,” he said, via ESPN’s Jeff Darlington. “If there would have been anything lingering with his head, I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I prematurely put someone out there in harm's way.
