What could the penalty be if they violated it?

Yolo thanks for posting...but the investigation is being initiated by the NFLPA not the NFL.  Big difference.

An extra draft pick being assigned to New England.

They'll be told off for being naughty but nothing else.

 

In all seriousness, it'd make more sense if they make him sit out the next game, but as this is NFLPA instigated instead of NFL, nothing will happen.

This could be trouble for the dolphins. I can see some Monster fine.

The NFL wanted him in.  'Nuff said.

I think I said this on the other Tua thread, but Peter King stated Tua was seen by an unafiliated doctor at the half who decided he was fit to return.

The dolphins can’t even clear him. 
Its the independent doctor on the hook here right??? Or did he never actually enter the concussion protocol??

The upshot is, he's made of glass. Milano and Epenesa last year are two nothing hits that put him out of the game.

Should have to negate any points scored after injury while he was on the field.

the way his head snapped back after the push by Milano was kind of bizarre.

Honestly I don’t think the NFL can ignore this if they want to continue to sell the public on their concern for player safety. And the Dolphins have already given them a black eye this year with their tampering and tanking allegations. 
 

Did he even enter protocol? It went from head injury to back injury awfully quickly….

"Oh him, yeah he's fine."

 

"This, oh I found it."

Some of you are seriously talking about this as an excuse. The concern for the NFL is if it was safe for him to play, not if a concussed quarterback continuing to play was somehow "unfair" to the Bills.

 

Weak. I'll agree with any prescribed punishments but the NFLPA doesn't give two ***** about his impact or the outcome of the game 

It's less about that and more like we all witnessed them breaking the rules.

So is roughing the passer. Punishable by yards. This will be a fine. Not some replay of two quarters with Teddy Bridgewater

They might lose another draft pick.

Why did he not go straight to the NFL tent on the sidelines??
