Possibly they did the whole lot proper.
Possibly the medical professionals tasked with guaranteeing the instant and long-term well being of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday and main as much as Thursday night time’s sport adopted concussion protocol to perfection.
It’s nonetheless inconceivable to shake the notion that the 24-year-old quarterback had no enterprise enjoying as he did on Thursday.
The pictures of Tagovailoa mendacity on the bottom after sustaining a violent hit — his physique seizing and shortly after loaded onto a stretcher for transportation to a hospital — will stay in our reminiscences for a while. Possibly ceaselessly.
And since that incident got here 4 days after we noticed Tagovailoa’s head slam on the bottom, noticed him stumble to his ft, shaking his head and attempting to get his bearings, noticed him staggering round earlier than teammates alerted their sideline to the necessity for medical consideration, it’s inconceivable to keep away from questioning a couple of connection between the 2 incidents and if the second, and extra critical, may have been prevented.
