The NFL and the Miami Dolphins are going to face serious criticism after the Dolphins-Bengals Thursday Night Football game.
On Sunday, a visibly wobbly Tua Tagovailoa returned to play which prompted an investigation from the NFLPA into the team’s handling of Tua’s concussion protocol.

This is what happened to Tua Tagovailoa after his head hit the turf hard. Not sure how you let him back in.

Fans crushed the Dolphins and the NFL for allowing Tua Tagovailoa to play on Thursday.
This is a disaster. Pray for Tua. Fire the medical staffs and coaches. I predicted this and I hate that I am right. Two concussions in 5 days can kill someone. This can end careers. How are we so stupid in 2022. pic.twitter.com/D8S8eEbgda

That’s a serious injury . Tua shouldn’t have been out there with Sunday Thursday turn around. Sometimes players need protecting from themselves. Dolphins failed Tua

Based on what happened to Tua last week, the Dolphins staff has a lot of explaining to do.

Tua hit his head twice in a span of 4 days, Dolphins medical staff ain't seeing heaven.

The NFL and the Dolphins should be under serious investigation for how they handled Tua these past few days. This is absolutely sickening and inexcusable. We need to see some very severe consequences, if malpractice is proven.
