Per Underhill- JW didn’t practice again today.

Dalton is probably the guy on Sunday & TH the “emergency” QB.

The scene at last night's game was appalling. The NFL and the Dolphins are culpable for any symptoms Tua suffers from now until the day he passes away.
What is decorticate posturing?
Decorticate posturing — a sign of severe damage to the brain — is a specific type of involuntary abnormal posturing of a person. Decorticate posture is stiff with legs held out straight, fists clenched, and arms bent to hold the hands on the chest.
Causes of decorticate posturing

Decorticate posture can be caused by a number of conditions, including:

traumatic brain injury (TBI)
bleeding in the brain
brain tumor
stroke
brain problem due to drug use, poisoning, infection, or liver failure
increased pressure in the brain
infection, such as Reye’s syndrome, malaria, or encephalitis

While you are at it, do you have the video of the play where Winston injured the other WR?

Thanks!

Didn't have to see it multiple times It hurt to watch it happen. But yeah, if remembering correctly it was on replay mulptiple times. I forget the play but after the bad pass MT was limping and now is out for this game.

We can't draft in a good position. Some idiot accountant named Mickey Loomis traded our 1st round pick. Philly gets a good draft position if we lose.

IMO the Dolphins lied about his current condition. That's a shame.

A 4 day turnaround time from head trauma/concussion? C'mon Miami, what are you doing?

One day, in the not too distant future, a player will rise up and sue ... and win bigly. Doesn't matter what the NFLPA and NFL owners tried, and to continue to try, to brush under the carpet the ugly truths about injury concealments and how teams handle them. It's all about the Benjamins and how much more they can make.

Re: Do you rest Winston?

It’s probably not going to be a popular opinion, but I have no problem with what Miami did. I seriously doubt they had to twist Tua’s arm to have him play. He likely was fighting as hard as he could to play.

He passed concussion protocols that the NFL and NFLPA set in place by mutual agreement. It was a rather freakish play that spun him down to the ground for a hard hit. I’ve seen no evidence or statement yet that the issues he had in the Sunday game and anything whatsoever to do with what happened Thursday night. This is a violent game played by the biggest, strongest, fastest athletes on the planet and Tua was an unfortunate, but very willing, participant.

The critique pendulum rocks back and forth between the game becoming to soft and resembling two hand touch to being too uncaring and dismissive of the safety of the players. The game is what it is and the players all know what they have spent the early parts of their lives preparing for may bring. For this they are paid handsomely.
