This didn't take long.

I really don't understand all the hubbub about this.
Last week he had a back and ankle problem that caused him to stumble. This week he got thrown to the ground pretty hard. In college he had a pretty horrific injury that impacted his draft stats. Like Robert Griffith's III. Maybe it's time to admit that Tuas body can't handle football. |

It would be great to see a Myth Busters type analysis of different playing surfaces and forces on the brain from striking the surface.

The shield will stifle any info that would hurt the NFL. Nothing will come of this.

This is “only” like the third worst recent transgression committed by the Dolphins franchise… what a dumpster fire.

If this guy gets cleared to play the next game, Goodell should be tied to the goalpost and shot by a firing squad.
The NFL will lose ALL credibility about player safety right along with the union.

He won't be playing next week even if he was fine because of the media influence in the game.

Unbelievable that they let this guy play last week.

In '63 Al Michaels was concerned JFK may have suffered from whiplash after being shot

This level of certainty about the buckling seen on Sunday, or even the fencing/spasming on Thursday from seeing it on TV, is frustrating. It's entirely possible that the docs are in the tank, and no one in the line of protocol kept them in check, and it's possible that Tua is some motivated master of masking the true source of his problems from all evaluators. But it's also possible that everyone is being on the up and up. Point is, this level of certainty from lay observers is just as concerning as the things they are certain about. That buckling on Sunday is concerning to observe, but I also had a recent momentary twinge in my lower extremity that could have been very concerning from the outside. For some reason, could even be fighting off another flare-up of gout, I've had some soreness in my big toe, . . . just barely a notch above 'noticable.' But then when grocery shopping the other day, it turned sharp for JUST A SECOND and radiated right the eff up my leg. And for just a moment my foot couldn't take weight. I had to hold on to dear life to my shopping cart so I didn't take out a row of snacks. A second later I was fine, but I can imagine if a stranger had been watching me closely, they might have thought I was on the verge of a stroke or something. My point isn't to say I know anything here, just an example that reminded me how diversely symptoms of various things can manifest, and to say from visual observation you know it has to be one specific thing is not necessarily helpful, even if you have good intentions.

There's like no chance he plays next week. The optics alone prevent that.

You would think but the dolphins and the nfl seem intent on claiming this is a back injury. The question is, will they hold him out because of a back injury or will they put him on concussion protocol? I’d bet the former and that’s going to deservedly lead to tons of backlash.
