Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared to return...
For the first time since he suffered a concussion on Sept. 29, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa participated fully in practice on Friday.
Tagovailoa sustained a concussion in the Dolphins' 27-15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and missed a 40-17 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday
Well, according to Ian Rapoport, Tua has been cleared to play next Sunday against the Steelers. The game will be played in prime-time, on NBC.
Here is what Mike Florio of NBC sports reported:
Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports that Tua received four outside opinions. He was unanimously cleared from the concussion protocol. All agreed that scans of his brain showed no signs of long-term impact.
Of course, Chronic Traumatic Encephelopathy can't be detected in brain scans, or through any test performed on a still-living patient. That's the unknown aspect of the question of whether and to what extent Tua suffered lasting damage as a result of the concussion he suffered on September 29, and the one he may have suffered on September 25.
Regardless, there's apparently no risk of second impact syndrome, if he suffers another concussion when he faces the Steelers in Week Seven.
