The NFL has agreed to modify its concussion protocol, adding that players experiencing 'ataxia' or 'abnormality of balance/stability, motor coordination or dysfunctional speech caused by a neurological issue,' will be immediately ruled out of the game.
against the Buffalo Bills last month, the NFL and NFL Players Association concluded in a joint investigation."The outcome in this case was not what was intended when the protocol was drafted," the statement said.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is carted off the field during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 29, 2022, at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.In the first half of the Week 2 game on Sept. 25 against the Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa took a hit from Bills linebacker Matt Milano, which caused him to slam to the ground. He appeared disoriented afterward and stumbled as he tried to get to his feet.
The NFL and NFLPA said they reviewed video from the Bills game, jointly interviewed members of the Dolphins' medical staff, the head athletic trainer, the Booth ATC Spotter, the UNC and Tagovailoa. The review said that Tagovailoa told the medical staff that he aggravated his back injury on the play in question and that his back injury caused him to stumble.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said at a fan forum in London on Saturday that the NFL will make a"change or two" to its concussion protocol as it has fielded criticism in the handling of Tagovailoa's injury.
