Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed the team’s final two regular season games as well as Sunday’s playoff game recovering from a concussion that he suffered against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.

Tagovailoa also missed two games earlier in the season after suffering a concussion in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Dolphins and the NFL have received widespread criticism for the handling of Tagovailoa’s health status throughout the year. So when Miami general manager Chris Grier spoke to the media about Tagovailoa’s health status, you can probably guess what a lot of fans had to say.

Per NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, Grier told reporters that Tagovailoa isn’t more prone to concussions than other players.

Dolphins GM Chris Grier added with their conversations with doctors and NFLPA they’ve learned Tua Tagovailoa it is not true he would more prone to having concussions after having multiple this year. Grier says Tua is no more prone to concussions now than any other NFL player.

I am happy that the team is voicing their support for Tua. While there is a small trend toward #concussions becoming easier to get & longer to recover from, it's not a guarantee. Good chance his 2nd & 3rd were solely due to going back too soon after the 1st. Let's hope he's fine.

If there is anyone Tua should trust with his concussion issues, it’s the Dolphins training staff

#Dolphins GM Chris Grier sais that Tua Tagovailoa is no more susceptible to concussions going forward that any other player.

Medically this just isn't true.

The more concussions a player has suffered, the more severe they are likely to get and the more likely they are to occur.
