Officials thought the nose tackle was a Viking player?

It’s called fencing response. It’s a sign of head injury.

concussion and/or spinal
There would have been had the defender lifted and slammed him but that was a clean tackle, it’s just a shame that his head had to hit the turf like it did.
Do you know why it’s called a “Fencing response”?
Damn bro, you’re cold
They always err on the side of caution. You never know if there’s a spinal injury, so it’s best to stabilize until you can be certain.
He couldn’t stand up 4 days ago.
I hope Miami is sued into oblivion.

Me? I was literally just curious why it’s called that. I wish Tua nothing but the best. He’s always seemed like a good kid.
True.
Either way, that was really difficult. From a football aspect, it’s a real shame because he was finally breaking out. He has the worst luck
I always assumed because concussed people are easily persuaded to buy stolen goods.

This reminds me of Jahvid’s concussions in back to back weeks in college.
I wonder if Tyrell Williams was able to overcome his headaches? That would be horrible if not.
that was my second guess

He’s going through several protocols. Head, neck, spine.
The scary part is, I never saw his legs move while he was laying there.
That’s a good point. It’s definitely not good news for Tua and his career prospects. I believe I’ve read that once you have them reoccurrences happen more “easily”

I’m still pissed.
At the doctors.
At the coaches.
Fuck all of them.
McDaniel should never be allowed to coach another goddamn game. Fuck that monster.

“Neck injuries”? Uh-oh. Didn’t really look like that kind of hit.

Didn’t he go back in last week as well? I thought that was a no-no.
