The biggest tell is also when he got up and stumbled there was a lot of head shaking and unsteady side-side movement - notably lacking was any reaching for his back at all - has anyone in hstory who ever hurt or threw out their back not reached and put their hands on their back involuntarily

No man.... pretty much just went fetal .... you can't do anything immediately

No less, without a look of excruciating pain on their face... Tua didn't look to be in pain, just disoriented.

Just try not to fall directly on your face.

I've never done upper back, just lower.  From my experience you are 100% correct.  Can't stand up and walk if you wanted to.

Have a feeling that Tua will have more "staggering" issues, I mean spine issues tonight in Cincinnati.

A blind man could've seen that one coming.

 

They probably had a line in Vegas guessing which quarter.

Awesome, not caught up on everyone’s status, but maybe we’ll have the entire starting OL out there this week? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

And right after he hit his head on the turf, he immediately did the reach up for your head and hold the helmet thing that is almost a dead giveaway for a concussion.
