Former NFL linebacker Manti Te'o says that Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is "doing better" after suffering a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The NFL Network analyst said Wednesday on Sirius XM NFL that he had spoken with Tagovailoa's father, Galu Tagovailoa, to whom Te'o refers as "uncle."
"It's no surprise to me that he's going to try to get back, based on what Uncle Galu told me," Te'o said, per Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post.
Tagovailoa will be sidelined for at least four games after the Dolphins placed him on the injured reserve on Tuesday following the third concussion diagnosis of his NFL career.
