Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will return to practice this week after missing the team's past four games.

McDaniel said medical experts have deemed it safe for Tagovailoa to return; barring any setbacks, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins are aiming for him to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

...............It will be safer for you to watch, than for him to play.............

Most definitely, but it looked really serious. He was in intense pain rolling around on the ground and they said he couldn't even put his shoe back on, because he was in so much pain.

I'm not surprised. Evans sustained a hamstring just last week and certainly didn't give it enough time to rehab. SMH. This is that more stupid since he had a strong history of significant hamstring injuries in the past...............in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023. You would think by now he and the Bucs medical team would have learned something about hamstring injuries.
 
49ers WR Deebo Samuel was having problems breathing when he left the Sunday game against the Chiefs. He was then hospitalized. Chest x-rays revealed that he had fluid buildup in both of his lungs.....................bilateral pneumonia. His breathing problems began Sunday morning and became progressively worse throughout the day.................and he or the medical staff saw no reason to keep him out of the game. :thinking:

And now Chris Godwin is being carted off the field, the injury was so bad they wouldn't show the replay..

Suddenly the Bucs are in dire need of WRs.. I wonder if we can lure something from them for Metchie.

You can't dislocate an ankle without also suffering a fracture of either the distal tibia or fibula along with multiple ligament damage. With any joint dislocation, you can't wait for a couple of days to surgically reduce it. But in the case of an ankle dislocation, the accompanying fracture allows that ankle joint to reduce itself back into place. His season is done, but his careet is not unless there are significant healing or rehab problems.
 
Tua has had 5 concussions including the one I discovered in my research (game against Mississippi State on November 16. 2019)

Tua Tagovailoa is back, and he’s trying not to think about his next concussion
By Mike Florio

Tua Tagovailoa is back. And with each passing concussion, his return to the sport that gives him concussions will be a little more awkward.

The Dolphins quarterback was borderline defiant when meeting with reporters on Monday. Tua insists that he’s had no symptoms since the day after his latest concussion — even though the brain injury suffered on Thursday, September 12 caused him to miss four games on injured reserve.

After talking the situation through with Devin McCourty during Tuesday’s PFT Live, two things occurred to me. One, Tua doesn’t want his opponents to think he’s thinking about his next concussion. Two, Tua doesn’t want to think about his next concussion.

With at least three (probably at least four) in fewer than two years, does anyone think he won’t have another one? And if/when it happens, then what? Miss a month and do it all over again?

Like every NFL player, Tua has the absolute right to assume the risk of concussions. The question is whether there’s a point at which it’s too many concussions. Even if he recovers from each one (the next day, as he claims), this lather, rinse, repeat process doesn’t seem sustainable.

That leads to the broader question of whether the NFL and the NFL Players Association should devise a standard for essentially forcing a player to retire (hopefully with some form of financial compensation) after a certain number of concussions.

How many concussions are too many? That’s for the league and union to decide. Regardless, there arguably should be a limit to the number of concussions that any one player can sustain.

Regardless, it’s a bigger deal than an ankle sprain or a pull hamstring. They heal, they happen again, they heal, they happen again. The brain is a different situation.

Twice, Tua has experienced the fencing response after a concussion. That typically results from a significant brain trauma.

What happens if that happens again? The league, the team, and the player would be wise to have a plan for when it happens again — because chances are it will.

From your article:

The Browns have said they understand that law, but they consider their current plan different since they would be moving to Brook Park and staying in the region.

Once a crook, always a crook (Haslam)!

The Modell Law refers to any city to city move..............it does not exempt a move to a "nearby region."

Brook Park is not in Cleveland...................it is its own city established in 1961....................their base tax payers are entirely separate from those that helped fund the Browns.

ESPN doesn’t disclose audience numbers for Chargers-Cardinals game on ESPN+
By Mike Florio
Published October 22, 2024 07:37 PM

For reasons neither known nor apparent, the Disney companies served up a staggered Monday night doubleheader that had Ravens-Buccaneers on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 — and Chargers-Cardinals only on ESPN+.

It made no sense. And the latter game generated numbers not worth bragging about.

That’s become the P.R. strategy this year for ESPN. It’s better to not mention bad numbers, even if that leads to criticism for not mentioning numbers.

The Ravens-Bucs numbers were solid, “more than 16 million” viewers. (Which means, technically, at least 16 million and one viewers.) Last week’s Bills-Jets game did 17.3 million viewers.

This week’s broadcast game, of course, was partially cannibalized by the streaming game. Whatever the degree of cannibalization, however, the decision was made to not disclose it.
