Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel defended his decision to play Tua Tagovailoa against the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday, as the quarterback left on a stretcher due to a head injury days after he cleared concussion protocols during a Sunday game.
The 24-year-old was sacked by Bengals defensive tackle Josh Tupou in the first half and appeared to hit the back of his head on the turf.
The injury amplified fierce criticism over the decision to play him Thursday after he was also evaluated for a concussion on Sunday during the Dolphins' win over the Buffalo Bills. McDaniels told reporters Tagovailoa was cleared by "several layers of medical professionals" after the hit on Sunday.
