Tua Tagovailoa concussion discussion (update: Tua to IR 9/17/2024)(Merged)

4 DAYS!!!!

4 DAYS!!!!

It's been 4 days since dude was out on his feet from a far harder hit to the head than he took today!!!

The video from last week appears to show Tua with obvious neurological effects. Confused, unsteady walking, shaking his head, hands up to his head - the signs the docs on the sideline say they’re looking for. They later said it wasn’t a concussion and he wasn’t in the protocol. But how?

Tonight he never got up so we didn’t see him walk - but he definitely hit his head and the raised forearms with curled fingers, clear neurological sign. Then coach says he did indeed suffer a concussion and is in the protocol.


So we know for sure tonight - the question is really only about last week. Is it possible he wasn’t concussed? Seems so wildly unlikely.
