Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered separate head and neck injuries in back-to-back games – four days apart. The second injury saw the former first-round NFL draft pick stretchered off the field against the Cincinnati Bengals. While he recovers, the league and NFL Players Association are discussing changes to existing concussion protocols.
With Dolphins staff under scrutiny and other coaches overcoming player injuries to succeed, the NFL insiders discuss coaches' grades after Week 4. Do Mike McCarthy and Co. deserve top marks for getting the best out of Cooper Rush while Dak Prescott sits out injured? Is the Atlanta Falcons' staff better than average with back-to-back wins?
