NFL and NFLPA have released the results of their investigation into the Tua injury. 

https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-nflpa-joint-statement-on-investigation-into-handling-of-dolphins-qb-tua-tago

"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."

Looks like Tua was not concussed as had been stated, but there was obviously something wrong. Expect them to take a serious look into this during the off-season and expect it to get redone. 

I do expect them to start watching these guys with far more scrutiny than before now, and rightfully so. The 2nd instance very much reminded me of seeing Luke on the cart.

get ready to have influential players senselessly removed from games to save billionaires liability dollars 

Each team will employ someone to watch the other teams players and trigger concussion protocols 100%

Wait…didn’t someone get canned over this?

If they followed protocol as written, then they did their job, and got fired because of an uncontrollable “outcome” of Tua's head bouncing off the turf.

The medical staff involved determined that the Gross Motor Instability ("GMI") suffered by Mr. Tagovailoa was not neurologically caused. They concluded the player's back injury was the cause of his observed instability.  However, the team physician and UNC did not conduct an examination of Mr. Tagovailoa's back during the concussion examination, but instead relied on the earlier examination conducted by other members of the medical staff.

Well obviously the dude was concussed and it wasn’t covered under the NFL parameters of what a “concussion “ is. That is the scary thing. And that happens every week in the NFL. 

He wasn't obviously concussed but there was obviously something going on. Adrenaline can make you capable of things that normally don't happen. Having something tap your spinal cord can cause jelly legs, I can attest to that one personally. He shouldn't have been back out, but he wasn't necessarily concussed.

The outcome was not intended??? This is what you get when a business police's itself. He was clearly injured, the tape shows that. He clearly also didn't need to be on the field. Hell guys leave for 4 weeks for a hamstring injury. Tua could barley walk and they rushed him out there.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
