Tua Tagovailoa has entered the NFL's concussion protocol in the wake of the Miami Dolphins' loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Mike McDaniel said Tagovailoa displayed and admitted to having concussion symptoms when he spoke with team doctors Monday and was immediately placed into the protocol.

It marks the second time this season Tagovailoa has been placed into the protocol.

Tagovailoa previously entered the concussion protocol after the Dolphins' game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4 and was hospitalized briefly then after his head hit the turf.

He went on to miss the team's next two games and returned in Week 7.

Tua Tagovailoa received the most votes of any player for the Pro Bowl this year, but that wasn't enough for the Miami Dolphins quarterback to earn the honor.

The AFC quarterbacks, based on the final voting consisting of one third fans, one third coaches, and one third players, are Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow.

Tagovailoa is a first alternate. He'll definitely make it, if the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs or Cincinnati Bengals make the Super Bowl.

The Miami Dolphins are preparing to play the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

The game will be cold and could be snowy, which Tua Tagovailoa says doesn't bother him.

"Could be snowing, could rain, I don't know," Tagovailoa said. "It's a mindset thing, really, and if I'm too focused and worried about, Is it too cold? Can I grab the ball or not? Then I'm focused on the wrong things and it'll be hard to play that way."

After getting several questions about the Buffalo weather, Tagovailoa began to take issue with the idea that he can't handle snow.

“It snowed in Alabama my first year. So it snows in Alabama, guys. People don’t know that,” Tagovailoa said.

The Miami Dolphins were in the mix to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo this past offseason, the quarterback says.

"They were in the conversation," Garoppolo said. "Not much came from it, but they were definitely one of the teams in the conversation. It seemed like a good spot. As an offense, that's tremendous skillplayers, everything they got going over there. Mike {McDaniel] being a great coach, I had been with him in the past here and it was discussed, but I'm glad the way things worked out."

Garoppolo remained with the San Francisco 49ers after offseason shoulder surgery and regained his starting role when Trey Lance suffered a season-ending injury.
