MIAMI -- Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is in concussion protocol, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday, after taking a hard hit to the head in Sunday's win over the New England Patriots.
Waddle was the intended receiver on a pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. The pass fell incomplete but Waddle was on the receiving end of a helmet to helmet hit from Patriots linebacker Marte Mapu, who was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct following the hit.
Waddle received attention from medical trainers on the field before being escorted to the sideline, and eventually to the locker room.
