McDaniel Already Laying The Groundwork For Tua NOT To Play Next Week

[phinsforlife]

McDaniel said “surgery is not currently on the table” for Tagovailoa but said he has “no idea” whether he would play at the Jets next weekend. McDaniel said it’s not related to the injury to the same hip that required surgery at Alabama. McDaniel’s explanation for why Tagovailoa did not play: “The hip injury, which he sustained in the Houston game, was made worse on one particular play against the 49ers. You see the injury is a little worse and try to forecast how things will heal... based on the previous week’s forecast. We were hoping and anticipating for a timeline similar to that. As the week progressed, we didn’t seem the improvement we [expected]. “Ultimately he absolutely wanted to play. Wasn’t a pain tolerance thing. He not only was super susceptible to a much more significant injury, but a major factor was the lack of strength due to the injury and his inability to protect himself and his teammates within the pocket doing the things he normally has to do. From a medical perspective, it was not an option for him to play.”

I’d say he’s done for the year

"surgery is not currently on the table"

Wow...that means something that is not good.

 

[MrChadRico]

This is weird AF

 

[DrMultimedia]

Sounds like a Tannehill knee. It's fine.. Let's skip surgery...

I don't think your subject or quotes match reality.

McD said they were waiting up to today to see if Tua can play, but things didn't improve the way they would have wanted/expected. That doesn't sound like he's going to be out next week.

 

[LargoFin]

There you go, shut down by the medical department.

 

[Heinegrabber]

That means even if the Phins had a bye week he probably would not play. This has to be a chess move because we should be able to beat the Jets with Thompson (currently QB 3) if need be and not risk the the STARTING QB health.

It's vague as hell though. Up for crazy interpretations. This is alarming regardless. It just may as well be time to move on. Or maybe we wait and see how the week progresses. Rofl that's how I understood it.

I don’t know, to me it just sounds like he was pretty injured, and he wasn’t seeing improvement yet… think like running on a sprained ankle type thing… and so they just want to wait and see.

Obviously, I don’t know **** about ****, but that’s how I’m viewing it.

Wouldn't that be something if we actually make the playoffs and Tua is done for the season, just like what happened 2 years ago. Only this time it will be Snoop in Buffalo instead of Skylar.

I don't think it's any more vague than any of the other BS that comes out of McDaniel's mouth.

You have to read between the lines, and the fact they were waiting up until today is telling this is an injury they think can heal.

Jets are a complete dumpster fire. We should be able to beat them with Huntley

If we somehow get in the playoffs, I'd expect Tua to play. Or else this be would the second time in 3 years he misses our playoff game fml

Honest question… how many QBs miss games in the NFL for a hip injury? That’s gotta be a rare injury for that position.

Agree that Huntley has a fair chance to beat the Jets.
