Miami, Florida – Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during a game against the Buffalo Bills last week. The incident occurred in the third quarter when he collided with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Tagovailoa left the game and did not return, raising concerns among fans and players alike.
This isn’t the first time Tagovailoa has experienced a concussion. He faced a similar situation in a previous matchup against the Bills in 2022, which was initially reported as a back injury. However, many believe that was not the full story after he stumbled on the field following a hard fall. Just a few days after that game, he suffered another serious head injury against the Cincinnati Bengals where he displayed signs often associated with concussions.
After the recent game, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel spoke to reporters about Tagovailoa’s health. He emphasized that while he cares deeply for his players, he relies on medical professionals to make such critical decisions. “I think we will find out some more information tomorrow in terms of where Tua’s at,” McDaniel said. He noted that Tagovailoa would receive proper evaluation and care following the incident.
Players from around the league expressed their concern, including former wide receiver Dez Bryant and Super Bowl champion Lawrence Tynes. They questioned whether Tagovailoa should reconsider his future in the game, given the frequency of his injuries.
As of now, Tagovailoa’s condition will be assessed in the coming days. The team’s medical staff will determine when he can safely return to practice and games. The Dolphins will keep their fans updated on his recovery progress as they prepare for their next matchup.
