Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel: Tua Tagovailoa endured blackout, expected to be released from medical clinic Thursday night

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was taken by rescue vehicle to a Cincinnati-region clinic subsequent to supporting head and neck wounds during his group's 27-15 misfortune to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night.

Following the game, Dolphins lead trainer Mike McDaniel said Tagovailoa experienced a blackout and nothing "more serious."

Tagovailoa, who was governed out of the game, was cognizant all through and had full development in his limits. He is supposed to be released from the clinic and to fly back with the group to Miami. He is in blackout convention, per McDaniel.

"That was a personal second, that isn't essential for the arrangement that anybody pursues, despite the fact that you know it's plausible in football to have something that you need to get taken off on a cot," McDaniel said. "His partners and myself, we were all extremely concerned, so the best news that we could get is that all that's looked at, that he had nothing more serious than a blackout, and will be flying back with us here on the plane."

The quarterback's physical issue happened in the second quarter when he was sacked by Cincinnati guarded tackle Josh Tupou with something like six minutes left in the main half, and was thrown down to the turf, seeming to raise a ruckus around town of his head. In a terrifying sight, Tagovailoa was on the ground with his arms outstretched, twisting his fingers, fairly like a fighter or warrior after a knockout in what is alluded to as a fencing reaction.

Tagovailoa remained on the ground for a couple of moments while mentors took care of him before a cot was brought on a mission to take him off the field. He was then taken by rescue vehicle to the College of Cincinnati Clinical Center.

The injury to Tagovailoa comes only four days eliminated from him briefly leaving the Dolphins' success over the Bison Bills on Sunday. Tagovailoa left Sunday's down with what was at first reported by the group as a head injury. The QB got back to begin the last part of the game and completed out the success. Dolphins lead trainer Mike McDaniel said in the result of the game that Tagovailoa had harmed his back in the principal half and the injury was exacerbated by the hit he supported from Bills linebacker Matt Milano.

The NFL Players Affiliation in this way wanted to examine assuming that legitimate blackout convention was followed. The NFL on Wednesday affirmed a survey was progressing, yet every sign was that legitimate convention had been followed. The NFLPA put out an announcement Thursday late evening expressing its examination is continuous and that its "worry this evening is for Tua and we expect a full and expedient recuperation."

McDaniel underlined Thursday that a free expert assessed Tagovailoa Sunday and he never really fudged with convention being followed.

"That is the reason the NFL has these conventions, and dislike each and every NFL game that is played," he said. "There's an autonomous expert that works in specialty cerebrum matter, so for my purposes, for however long I'm training here, I won't fudge what is happening. Assuming there's any kind of tendency that someone has a blackout, they go into blackout convention; it's exceptionally severe. Individuals don't differ or wander; we don't screw with that, we never have for however long I've been lead trainer, so it'd never be an issue that you folks need to stress over."

Driving into Thursday's down, Tagovailoa was problematic to play because of back and lower leg irritation, yet made the beginning. McDaniel doesn't really accept that Tagovailoa's wounds supported Sunday had an immediate association with Thursday's situation. Besides, he highlighted that he could never put the consequence of a game as vital over the prosperity of a player.

"I don't feel that a physical issue from last week made him fall the same way this week, yet definitely, I don't have any, as totally zero persistence for, or will at any point gotten a player ready for them to be in danger," McDaniel said. "That isn't what I'm about by any stretch of the imagination, and no result of a game could at any point impact me being capable as the lead trainer of a football crew."

Tagavailoa was 8 of 14 for 110 yards, no scores and a capture attempt preceding his leave Thursday. Teddy Bridgewater took over at quarterback for the Dolphins.

The 24-year-old Tagovailoa, the 2020 NFL Draft's fifth-in general pick, is in his third season with Miami.
