Tua Tagovailoa situation calls into question protocols, safety of Thursday Night Football

It’s been two days since the scary situation on Thursday Night Football involving Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Only four days after many questioned if Tagovailoa should be allowed to re-enter a contest against the Buffalo Bills, the third-year starter was back under center for the Dolphins on Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Midway through the game, Tagovailoa was brought down in one of the most intense sacks of recent memory and immediately showed signs of neurological impairment.

On Saturday, the NFLPA fired the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant who cleared Tagovailoa to play again on Sunday against the Bills.
