WR Jaylen Waddle

(How tough was it to hear the news about QB Tua Tagovailoa going through the concussion protocol again?) – “It’s tough, man. But he’s a competitor. He’s going to be around throughout the week helping us out and getting us ready for the game. But it’s definitely tough.”

(And your confidence with QB Teddy Bridgewater, obviously an experienced guy coming in?) – “Yeah, definitely. ‘Teddy B’ (Teddy Bridgewater) has been great for us the whole season. So he’ll come in and try to help us win.”

(WR Tyreek Hill mentioned that QB Teddy Bridgewater likes to make a lot of jokes in the huddle. Is that kind of how he calms everyone down in these situations?) – “Yeah, and ‘Teddy B’ (Teddy Bridgewater) is going to be himself out the huddle, in the huddle, just around. (He’s) a great leader. He’s an older veteran guy, so he’s kind of like the old head around.”

(As a professional football player, how much are concussions on your mind? How much do you worry about concussions and the fact that it’s always a possibility?) – “Yeah, man, it’s a violent game. It kind of comes with the game though. It’s something that we’ve got to deal with long term, but that’s – sadly, it’s part of our game. It’s physical. We’re going to war each and every week. Concussions are definitely something serious, but it’s a part of the game.”

(Have you gotten to talk to QB Tua Tagovailoa? How is he doing?) – “Yeah, ‘Uce’ (Tua Tagovailoa) is doing good. He’s in good spirits around, being himself, helping us. He’s going to help us throughout the week, get our minds right and just trying to move on and try to go out there and compete.”
