Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return to the starting lineup against the Steelers on Sunday night and he had the starting quarterback’s customary meeting with the media on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It was Tagova’s first time speaking with reporters since he a concussion in Miami’s Week Four game against Bengals. Tagovailoa’s hands went into the fencing posture after he was hit and his lack of movement made for a scary scene for those watching the game.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa told reporters that he wasn’t frightened, because he has no memory of anything that went on the field after he got tackled and hit his head on the turf.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn’t say it was scary for me at the time because there was a point where I was unconscious so I couldn’t really tell what was going on,\u201d Tagovailoa said, via WPLG. \u201cWhen I did come to and realize what was going on what was happening I didn’t think of anything long-term or short-term, I was just wondering what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision to clear Tagovailoa to return to a Week Three game after he stumbled following a hit led the NFLPA to call for an investigation into the quarterback’s handling. Tagovailoa spoke with investigators while also dealing with doctor’s visits and taking the other steps needed to proceed through the league’s concussion protocol.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa called the last two weeks \u201cpretty stressful,\u201d but added that he is \u201cglad that I got to go through those things to understand more of the deals of concussions\u201d and that he feels ready to return to the field this week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
