Many believed Tagovailoa had suffered a concussion on the play, but the team said he passed concussion protocols. While the league said it had “every indication” that protocol was followed properly, Tagovailoa suffered a scary injury Thursday. This time, he suffered head and neck injuries and a confirmed concussion that resulted in a trip to the hospital.
