Concussion Protocol and NFL

[molsaniceman]

Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater has cleared the concussion protocol.​

Bridgewater will back up rookie Skylar Thompson for Sunday's game with the Vikings. The Dolphins' staff has been under fire for their handling of concussions, but Bridgewater never showed any symptoms and passed every test since he was pulled last week. Having Bridgewater's presence on the sidelines should help Thompson in his first career start.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to return in Week 7 against the Steelers.​

Skylar Thompson will start Sunday, with Tua inactive and Teddy Bridgewater backing him up. Returning in Week 7 doesn't come as a surprise after Tua returned to full practice this week. Tua met with specialists in addition to the Dolphins' staff before he was cleared. His return comes at a good time for the Dolphins, who have a Sunday night matchup with the Steelers in Week 7.

I told you I have no problem if the league gets rid of Ross but you suck your owners $#@%^!!! even if he's wrong. Tell me who's the lacky drinking koolaid? Still doesn't answer how you feel that Brady took a regular sack and there was a penalty called on it. Do you like that shit? as Aikman said put your dress on then.

I saw a replay. If I saw the correct replay, I think it was a good call.
The defender went out of his way to fall on Brady after he was already down.

The fine on Brady was also correct for trying to kick the defender.

As for Kraft, he is one of the finest owners in NFL and I'm proud to have him own my favorite NFL team.

So the only day he missed of practice is Wednesday and that’s “not enough time” for an eight-year vet?

Either Bridgewater’s not right or McDaniel wants the rookie in anyway.

Could be more as he has a pectoral but either way he missed Tue and Wed practices again please get your facts straight before making judgment. Who knows could be a smokescreen but looks like the Fins prefer to start the guy who's practiced more.

you must be on crack sorry. Tell me how he falls on him he swung him around at the waste? if you think this is an illegal sack honestly I find no use speaking to you again. This coming from a former head of the refs.

He was at practice Wednesday, but only threw on the sideline.

Teams don't bench the QB currently at the top of the depth chart just because he missed practice until Thursday, unless they actually want to see the next guy in there instead. QBs get dinged and miss practice all the time. Brady, Rodgers and Herbert this year just off the top of my head. They still played Sunday.

Bridgewater isn't Brady or Rodgers or Herbert.

I respectfully disagree but you made your point.

Hopefully the Dolphins allow Thompson to do more in this game. They over-restricted him last week.

I hope they turn him loose and he hits every defender!

He's currently out with a thumb injury lol.

Kenny Pickett & Cameron Brate both suffered concussions today. Pickett ruled out and Trubisky in remainder of game. Brate carted off the field.

Did the stumble spotter get Pickett or was he just knocked out?

You may be the only person on the planet who thinks their was unnecessary roughness on that sack of Tom Lady. Why don't you run a poll this would be comical.

I don't run with a crowd. Agreement is not necessary.
We don't often agree. Why do I need to justify my opinion?

If 2 people always agree, one of them is unnecessary

So now players already know that they must pop back up after being hit if they lay there they will be sent off. Acting is now part of the equation. How is this helping the players and the game but I don't blame Teddy as he was screwed. ..

Teddy Bridgewater shares how new rule changes affect his post-hit reaction

It changes the way that players think.

Agreement is one thing but to believe that this was unnecessary roughness on a text book tackle because it was on Tom Lady is ridiculous. Just shows your bias. In comparison to Tua's sack this was a tea party and guess what no flag on Tua's...and you wonder why I complain! There is Tom Lady treatment and the rest of the league.

I'm not comparing nor defending.
The tackle was made and then the defender rolled over on the GOAT. The roll over was unnecessary
