Meanwhile, many fans criticized the Dolphins’ medical team for allowing the young QB to start the game despite suffering a concussion in the previous game against the Buffalo Bills. Former 3-time Super Bowl champion Shannon Sharpe initially took a dig at the Dolphins for mishandling Tagovailoa’s injury.

Earlier, he tweeted,Wonder IF* Tua/Dolphins call this a bck injury. Can’t want to hear the diagnosis.

However, he deleted that tweet, as he felt it was insensitive. Later, he clarified his comments in another tweet, as he said, I deleted my previous post because it wasn’t the right thing to say. I apologize for my lack of sensitivity dealing with the injury. I believe the Dolphins lied about Tua injury on Sunday and put him in this predicament. Again, I apologize for lapse in judgement.

It is worth noting that initially, the medical staff of the Dolphins and Tagovailoa thought it was a back injury, as he was struggling to walk during the previous game. According to reports, the Dolphins consulted with an independent doctor, which also came as the same.
