Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is speaking with investigators Tuesday as part of the investigation into his concussion evaluation after a Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills.

After hitting his head on the turf in the second quarter and showing signs of a concussion, Tagovailoa was allowed to return to the game, but he stumbled as he tried to return to the huddle.

The Dolphins have received a lot of criticism for allowing Tagovailoa to return to the game.

The firing of the consultant who was involved in the evaluation of his concussion was announced by the NFL PA.

The full results of the investigation will be made public, according to the Chief Medical Officer of the National Football League.

We want to be open about this. We want to get better. We want to be the best in this field. We will be up front about changing things if we find that we fell short. We've done that before, and we will do that again if that's what we're told.

The Dolphins were criticized for allowing Tagovailoa to play in the fourth game of the season after he was taken to the hospital on a stretcher following a scary hit.

The head coach said that Tagovailoa passed concussion protocol every day leading up to the game.

I have complete faith in the process we're going through. I made it very clear from the beginning that my job here is for the players. I'm very serious about that. Everyone in the building sticks to that. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I had put someone out there and put them in danger.

I have a relationship with this person. That is serious to me. I wouldn't have put him out there if I knew he was going to endanger himself.

Tagovailoa won't play in Week 5 against the New York Jets. His return is not set in stone.

According to a report, the league's concussion protocol is going to be changed. It will rule out players who exhibit gross motor instability regardless of other factors.
