How Tua stayed close to Dolphins during concussion protocol

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Facing third-and-9 from the Arizona Cardinals' 22-yard line Sunday, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa took the snap, wiggled away from a collapsed pocket and took off running to his left, toward the first-down marker.

It was Tagovailoa's first game since Week 2, when he suffered a concussion against the Buffalo Bills on an eerily similar scramble to the one the Hard Rock Stadium crowd was watching unfold. On that play, Tagovailoa finished his scramble by lowering his helmet into a Bills defender in an attempt to pick up extra yards and ended up with a five-week stay on injured reserve.
