Mike McDaniel confirmed Tua Tagovailoa has a concussion and named Teddy Bridgewater as the Dolphins’ starter
has a concussion and is day-to-day. He also named Teddy Bridgewater the starter in the event Tagovailoa can’t play Sunday against the Patriots.
“Moving forward today, and the whole team’s approach is Teddy Bridgewater is the starter,” McDaniel said. The Miami coach noted that Tagovailoa’s day-to-day status is not ideal for a team that has to do a week of game-planning, so the team will prepare for Bridgewater to start against New England. It’s unclear if Tagovailoa will be able to play now that he has entered the concussion protocol for the second time this year, this being his third head injury.
The incident triggered a joint NFL and player’s association investigation, which led to the league changing its concussion protocol to mandate that any player who shows possible concussion symptoms—including a lack of balance or stability—sit out the remainder of a game.
