NFLPA Fires Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultant Amid Tagovailoa Situation, per Report

The NFL Players Association reportedly fired the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant who was involved in Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s evaluation last Sunday after it was found the doctor made “several mistakes,” a source told ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques.

The NFLPA launched an investigation after Tagovailoa was cleared to play last Sunday vs. the Bills after he stumbled off the field following a major hit.

He cleared concussion protocol and returned to the game, but there has since been questioning surrounding his evaluation, with many questioning the decision to allow him back in the game.
