Source - Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa out of concussion protocol

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was cleared from concussion protocol Saturday, a source said, but he will not play this week against the Minnesota Vikings.

Tagovailoa is expected to return for the Dolphins' Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source said. Tagovailoa has not played since leaving the field on a stretcher after suffering a concussion in Week 4 when he was spun to the ground and hit his head on the turf.

That tackle was similar to one from a week before, after which Tagovailoa appeared unsteady on his feet, but was allowed to return to the game after clearing concussion testing.

Since suffering the Week 4 concussion, Tagovailoa, the Dolphins and his team of independent doctors followed a thorough process that far exceeded the NFL's concussion protocol, sources said.
