a scary moment at thursday s nfl game, miami dolphins quarterback tua tagovailoa was start carted off the field after suffering an apparent head injury. tua suffered a similar injury just four days earlier. now there are questions about why he was cleared to play and the neuro trauma consultant who has cleared him has been fired. cnn s sanjay gupta has the latest. when you watch that video from thursday night it s i mean, it s concerning, anyone can see tua sort of being thrown to the ground, almost a whiplash-like effect on his head and cervical spine, his neck. one of the things that s concerning there is what happens after he s actually thrown to the ground. you see this sort of flexion of his arms and sort of extension of the fingers. that can be indicative of a spinal cord or brain injury,
major problems with the vertebra and led to a major surgery in the cervical spine. what i can tell from reports, he had a plate put in, probably a steel and chromium plate, and screws to keep the plate in place. what seems to have happened now, some of those screws may have gone out of alignment, so they are going to replace them or fix them. what often happens in surgery like this, like he had in 2019, especially if you have parkinson s disease, the bones don t heal as well and alignment problems. it s very hard to keep the spine aligned after surgery if you also have parkinson s disease, you get something called kyphosis. i have a feeling they are revising the screws and maybe the plate. sandra: reassignment. beginning of the end of his problems, i meant the beginning of his problems. this is good morning america
