‘Being Fired Isn’t Enough’: Despite Medical Consultant Being Fired, NFL World Still Fuming Over Tua Tagovailoa’s Career-Shortening Concussion

Tua Tagovailoa dealt with a scary moment that shook the NFL from top to bottom. Questions surround the medical staff who evaluated the quarterback. The investigation could be far from over, but stern action has taken place. The NFLPA has fired the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultant who allowed Tagovailoa to return during the Bills game. Although, the NFL Universe believes it is far from done.

The situation arose during the Week 3 game when Tua Tagovailoa faced a brutal hit from the Bills’ defense. The QB also fumbled while walking back to the huddle. However, Tagovailoa came for Week 4 and faced another blow to the back of his head. The staff had to stretcher him off and take him to a local hospital. Multiple entities have been on the target list ever since.

As per ESPN, “The unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant involved in clearing Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa during Sunday’s game against the Bills has been fired after it was found he made ‘several mistakes’ in his evaluation, according to ESPN and multiple reports.”

The NFL Players Association used their privilege to expel the doctor. In an agreement with the NFL, the association can fire an unaffiliated neurotrauma expert without seeking permission.
