QB is among what is Daniel Norris Jersey believed to be a single-digit number of players who have suffered multiple concu sions in this NFL season, according to sources.He suffered his second confirmed concu sion of the season and third concerning blow to the head on Christmas against the . He wasn't checked for a concu sion during the game and only met with the doctors after showing concu sion-like symptoms the following day. The joint review between the NFL and NFL Players A sociation into the handling of Tagovailoa's concu sion revealed that "symptoms of a concu sion were neither exhibited nor reported until the following day," meaning there was no reason for the protocol to trigger. It's unclear if and when Tagovailoa will be able or cleared to return to play. The Dolphins ruled him out for Sunday's game against the as they fight for a wild card berth.The concu sion protocol for return to play is Michael Fulmer Jersey the same regardle s of how many concu sions the player has suffered. But a league source noted there's always "rich and robust" discu sion around players with more than one concu sion and their return to play. The union believes player history could be considered a greater factor in the evaluation of a player with multiple concu sions like Tagovailoa.No one has publicly confirmed when Tagovailoa suffered the second concu sion, but video from the second quarter of the Packers game shows the back of Tagovailoa's head hitting the turf. Concu sion spotters are trained to look for a blow to the head followed by some sort of injury behavior a wobble, grasping at the helmet JaCoby Jones Jersey or facemask or ataxia.Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel indicated he noticed a difference in Tagovailoa when watching the tape on Monday. When he met with Tagovailoa that day, McDaniel had Tagovailoa meet with the doctors where he was then placed in the concu sion protocol. The review determined that no injury behavior took place immediately after the blow to the head. Introducing a policy in the protocol to have every player who hits Christin Stewart Jersey his head checked for a concu sion isn't tenable for the way the game is played, according to multiple sources.There are five spotters in the booth: two spotters, an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant (or independent doctor) and two video techs. Would adding another person or two aid in catching more head injuries?"Everything's on the table," said one source.All three blows to the head this season for Tagovailoa were suffered in the occipital area of the head. NFL research has shown that's where quarterbacks regularly suffered concu sions due to how they fall in an unprotected manner based off the way the position is played. The league has spent tens of millions of dollars on developing safer helmet technology, and it continues to look at position-specific helmets. The league introduced , Shane Greene Jersey which provides more padding to the front of the helmet where concu sions mostly take place for those players.There's active work ongoing for a quarterback-specific helmet that would include engineered padding in the back of the helmet, and there's belief within the league that the quarterback-specific helmet will be ready within the next year.
