Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered his second official concussion during the game against the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day. He self-reported his symptoms a day after the contest and has been in concussion protocol ever since.
Tagovailoa has missed numerous games due to concussions. Earlier this season, he was sidelined for a few weeks after the back of his head hit the ground in Cincinnati and he had to be carted off.
Last week, in a loss against the New England Patriots, Tagovailoa’s absence was felt by the Dolphins.
Now, as the team’s playoff chances hang on by just a thread, Miami faces the New York Jets in a must-win game. It will have to be done, however, without the help of Tagovailoa.
Dolphins’ HC Mike McDaniel told reporters that Tua Tagovailoa is not a part of the team’s QB plans for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. Skylar Thompson and Teddy Bridgewater are.
