The NFL and NFLPA announced changes to the leagues concussion protocol on Saturday that will begin ahead of Sundays Week 5 matchups.
Scrutiny regarding concussion protocol is nothing new for the NFL. As research continues to yield more information regarding CTE and the impact of sustained brain injuries, the NFL finds itself at the center of controversy.
In the initial hit against the Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa stumbled and seemed to struggle to maintain his balance, which the team attributed to a back injury suffered earlier in the game. The investigation confirmed this report. Tagovailoa controversially returned to the game and then played against the Cincinnati Bengals four days later.
