Tua Tagovailoa came back into the game after hitting his head on the turf in the first half of Miami's 21-19 win over Buffalo, but the league wants to know more about how he got back into the game.
Tua's story was that his back seized up after he crashed to the dirt, not that he was dizzy, which falls into the "steamed hams" category.
That's how Tua wanted it.
“But I mean, any competitor that would’ve never wanted to come out would’ve did the same thing.”
This is the battle. The players want to play, the team wants him to play, and there isn't much anyone can do to stop them. Rules are in place to protect the players from themselves. There are only so many things you can do against someone. The players are aware of the risks and consequences and have done a lot of research.
You would like to think that the person shouldn't have to be examined after stumbling around. The check can wait for Monday or Tuesday because he was removed from the game. Players find their way back to the field.
The players want something. They want their union to do something. They seem to want to stay on the field.
