Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel Adamant Tua Tagovailoa was not Concussed Week 3

The Miami Dolphins are no longer undefeated, falling to the Cincinnati Bengals 27-15 on Thursday Night Football. But, all anyone could talk about was the scary injury suffered by Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was taken off the field on a stretcher and later diagnosed with a concussion. 

Tagovailoa’s situation is even more upsetting for football fans who strongly believe that the 24-year-old was also concussed in Week 3’s victory over the Buffalo Bills and should not have taken the field.

McDaniel: "I have absolutely zero patience for or ever would put a player in harm's way. That's not what I'm about at all and no outcome of a game would" influence him "to be irresponsible" with a player's health.

However, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel insists that was not the case, saying:

“I have absolutely zero patience for, or ever would put a player in harm’s way. That’s not what I’m about at all, and no outcome of a game would (influence me to be irresponsible with a player’s health).”

In the meantime, the NFLPA will continue investigating Miami’s handling of the situation and has vowed to pursue “every legal option.”
