The way he stumbled there was no way he wasn’t concussed.

Apparently Tua claimed his back locked up causing him to stumble.

Also, the RB Edmonds never even received evaluation after a hit directly to the head at the end of the game. He stayed in and scored on the next play.

Dolphins may be in trouble, and as a fan I can’t even be mad about it, but Tua isn’t soft and no one can say that anymore

As well they should, and I'm not buying that "back locked up" bull. You don't stumble around like that if you back is locked up. I can't see how they let him back on after seeing that

I thought their was an independent doctor, not associated with a team, assigned to every game. Plus, another official in the press box watching every play.

The press box official can place a player in the concussion protocol even if it’s missed on the field, and a player isn’t cleared until the independent doctor tests the player.

Funny that everyone calls Tua soft then when he comes back in they want the dolphins investigated.

Eh this isn't about being soft. Tua was straight up wobbly and stumbling right after he fell backwards and hit his head on the field. I think its reasonable that they are concerned with how it was handled.

Out of all the dumb things the NFL does and doesn't stand up for, I'm not mad at this.

He isn’t soft, he is injury prone

He was just getting on the ground to rub some dirt on it.

Idk after review of that video, it doesn’t appear to be his head. I think he literally just lost balance. He looked like he knew what he was doing.

I doubt anyone competently plays QB in the NFL with a concussion


I REALLY doubt that that a team is sending a concussed QB out in 2022

You’re talking about two completely different groups of people.

I’ve never seen someone with a hurt back shake their head like they were trying to think straight, but never once grab for their back that is hurting so bad that they can’t even stand up.

Hmm what part of the body do you think is most responsible for “balance?”
