During the post-game media scrum, Mike McDaniel came to address the press. He talked about Tua Tagovailoa and gave an update. The team kept him under evaluation and put him in concussion protocol. They also sent the QB to the hospital for some checks. But Neuroscientist Chris Nowinski had issues with one of McDaniel’s lines that Tagovailoa had nothing more grievous than a concussion.

Chris Nowinski, Ph.D., tweeted, Mike McDaniel said it’s good Tua ‘doesn’t have anything more serious than a [concussion].’ I don’t think this guy gets it. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury & posturing suggests brain stem injury. It’s pretty high on the list of serious medical consequences of football.
