Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Wednesday that Tua Tagovailoa remains in concussion protocol but will stay around the squad “as long as it doesn’t adversely affect him.”
The quarterback will not play against the Jets this weekend, but the announcement was made by McDaniel on Monday. The game is not until Sunday, and during Wednesday’s presser, he rejected the idea that optics played any role in announcing Tagovailoa’s status so early.
“My job should start and end with what’s the best thing for the team and everyone involved,” he said.
