The Miami Dolphins are making the correct decision in taking it slow with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s recovery process.

Tagovailoa suffered his second concussion of the season in last week’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. However, he was able to finish the game without exhibiting any concussion-like symptoms until the following day.

if this play at 2:40 was Tua's concussion, here are his stats:

pre-concussion: 9/12, 229 yds, 19.1 YPA, 1 TD, 0 INT

post-concussion: 7/13, 81 yds, 6.2 YPA, 0 TD, 3 INTspic.twitter.com/0FvirTtxnR

Dolphins fans received an update on Tagovailo’s current status with the team from quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell. On Thursday, Bevell revealed that Tagovailoa is not participating in meetings while he continues working with the team’s medical staff.

What is likelihood we will see Tua play again this regular season? QB coach Darrell Bevell: "We can't even answer that question. It's day to day deal. See how he's reacting, what medical people will say."

Many believe Miami should shut Tagovailoa down for the remainder of the season. Whil having concerns is normal, the only people that understand the severity of this particular injury are Tagovailoa and the team's doctors.

It’s an unfortunate reality, but there is a realistic possibility that Tagovailoa has played his last snap this season. If Tagovailoa doesn’t return this season, it will be up to back-up quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to right the ship and guide Miami into the postseason.
