NFLPA investigating handling of Dolphins QB Tagovailoa’s concussion check

Tua never once moved either hand toward his back.  it is very instinctual to move a hand to the area of pain, whether it is an ankle, knee, hamstring, shoulder, back etc.  

He shakes his head when he first gets up, with no hand movement toward his back.  

seems pretty far fetched to think it was his back at that time.  

Now, he may have some back pain, but very doubtful he did then

This isn't about your post, but poorly worded protocols drive me nuts (I know this is a checklist, but still).

What does "if any elements are positive" mean? Does that mean if any of the above criteria register 'yes'? So by the letter of the NFL's law, everyone with a history of concussions needs to get a locker room evaluation if they're hit in the head, regardless of any other symptoms?

More generally, why are we grouping all "Concussive Signs/Symptoms" together? If there was ever a time to list them out, it's a protocol for diagnosing concussions.

EDIT: Should have added this, what are criteria for "abnormal"? Is an individual baseline used? If so, from when? Is it a group average? What is the criteria for "benign" video?

Given above video even if he answered Maddock questions if this didn't escalate to a locker room review and complete NFL SCAT that is pretty damning.

Yeah this has to qualify under Gross Motor Instability for a No-Go. They have an asterisk under there for physician discretion, but there should be specific exceptions carved out for things like stumbling or balance issues.

If not, Video Review should come up yes given how hard the head hit was.

If not that, Concussive Signs/Symptoms had to be a positive.

He also protrudes his back when he's on one knee to get up instead of rising up through his hips. Puts more strain on his back than he would have by squatting up or waiting for a teammate to pick him up, totally inconsistent with a back injury.
