MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The NFL released a statement on Wednesday regarding the way the Miami Dolphins medical staff applied the league’s concussion protocol on quarterback Matt Moore.
During Miami’s playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 8th, Moore was hit in the head/chin area by Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree.
Moore was helped off the field and Dupree was flagged for unnecessary roughness, but the surprise came just minutes later when Miami’s QB returned to the game after missing just one play.
It was a bit of a shock to everyone watching after seeing the brutal hit to Moore, and the subsequent blood coming from his mouth.
