Former NFL Super Bowl champion Rob Ninkovich believes that the NFL failed to protect Tagovailoa by stating that things need to change in 2022 with how the league and the teams handle players’ injuries.

Ninkovich said:

Ninkovich added that players always have the mindset that they can play through injury because they don’t want to let others down.

He added:

All signs point to Tua Tagovailoa heading in the positive direction

Following the injury, Tagovailoa was sent to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. He was concsious and could move all his extremities

Tagovailoa traveled back to Miami with the team last night in a neck brace, and all scans were negative. He will have an MRI when he gets back to the facility. It isn’t known how long he will be out for, but the team will monitor him and take their time as he’s been recently banged up.

The Dolphins will play the New York Jets next Sunday and if their quarterback isn’t ready, Teddy Bridgewater will get the start.
