Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will return to the game Sunday after suffering a traumatic hit two weeks ago that swayed the NFL into changing its concussion protocol.
“Cortical posturing, which is the definition for it, and that's a level of disconnect in the neurological system between the brain and the spinal cord. And we often see it inside the hospital with different levels of coma,” said Neurologist Dr. Carol Foster with UCHealth. Former NFL tight end and Colorado native Bo Scaife tells Denver7 players are taught to be tough and are passionate about the game.
Now, any player seen stumbling or struggling with balance after a head injury will be prohibited from returning to the field.“One of the things that I would like to see happen is a national guideline that is age-related based on the type of sports,” Dr. Foster said.
