The NFLPA is initiating an investigation into the Dolphins’ handling of Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion check during Sunday’s 21-19 win over the Bills, according to NFL Media. Tagovailoa briefly left the game after taking a hard head shot on the field after being pushed late by Bills linebacker Matt Milano. He returned to the game for the start of the second half after initially being labeled as questionable to return with a head injury.
It was also reported during the game that Tagovailoa may have suffered a lower back injury on the play, and not an injury to his head. In any event, Tagovailoa only missed two plays during Sunday’s game. He finished the game with 186 yards on 13 of 18 passing that included key second-half completions of 32 and 45 yards to Jaylen Waddle on Miami’s game-winning drive.
“I’m doing good,” Tagovailoa told CBS Sports after the game when asked about his injuries. “We’ll go get those checked, but for the most part, it feels good, especially after a win.”
