While the National Football League will mandate the concussion protocols in place with the NFL Players' Association, it will not determine when or if Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa can return.
In a teleconference on Friday, NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills stated that the league will not interfere with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his doctors' selection of a return date.It was the third concussion he's suffered in his NFL career.
"Patient autonomy and medical decision-making really matters," Sills said. "And I think that's what we have to recognize goes on with our concussion protocol as well. Ultimately when patients make decisions about considering their careers, it has to reflect that autonomy that's generated from discussions with medical experts giving them best medical advice."
