Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) won’t play in Sunday’s road game versus the New England Patriots, head coach Mike McDaniel announced Wednesday.
Teddy Bridgewater will start in Tagovailoa’s absence, per McDaniel.
Tagovailoa did suffer a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, McDaniel disclosed. On Monday, the Dolphins QB told team doctors he was feeling concussion-like symptoms and was promptly placed into the concussion protocol one day after Sunday’s loss.
NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills said Tuesday that Tagovailoa exhibited zero injury behaviors and reported zero symptoms “that would have triggered the (league’s concussion) protocol” during the Packers game.
Around The NFL will have more on this story shortly.
