How Tua Tagovailoa cleared the NFL concussion protocol to return to the Dolphins

New York Times  

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to make his return to action Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after missing four games due to a concussion he suffered in Week 2. Although the NFL’s concussion protocol doesn’t change based on how many concussions a player has suffered, that independent expert takes the player’s complete medical history into account. “The tests that that doctor performs — and then the steps that the player has to clear to even get to that point — are going to be the same regardless of whether he’s had one or two or three concussions,” Jeff Miller, the NFL executive vice president overseeing player health and safety, said earlier this month. “That doctor’s going to consider whatever steps he or she needs to consider to make sure that they’ve reached a conclusion they’re comfortable with as a clinical provider of concussion care.” • Phase 5, full football activity/clearance: The player is finally cleared by the team doctor for full football activity involving contact. “Every situation and every concussion is unique,” Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL’s chief medical officer, said earlier this month.
