Tua Tagovailoa concussion discussion (update: Tua to IR 9/17/2024)(Merged)
" 'As soon as we finish that review, we’ll release the results of that to everyone,” Dr. Sills said. 'We want to be as transparent and open about this as possible. We certainly want to learn, to improve, to get better. And we want to be the best in the world at diagnosing and managing these injuries. And so if we find that we fell short, or if we find that there are things that we need to change, we will certainly be up front about doing that. We’ve done that before, and we will certainly do that again, if that’s what’s indicated.'
"Sills said that there will be 'very serious consequences' if the concussion protocol was not followed. It’s also possible, as we’ve previously explained, that the protocol was followed but that it needs to be changed to, in this case, prevent players from returning to play after they exhibit gross motor instability.
The problem in this case is that the team physician and the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultant found that Tua’s gross motor instability did not have a neurological cause. Few seem to believe that based, on the video. Sills never focused on that critical issue in the nearly nine-minute interview."
My BS meter is off the charts.
This is just lip service and empty promises. I don't believe it for a hot second.
