The Miami Dolphins had a rough outing on Thursday Night Football. The night was marred by a brutal injury to Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa. Tua scrambled out of the pocket on a fourth-and-short play but suffered a big hit from Bills safety Damar Hamlin in his head/neck area. Tagovailoa left the game and was ruled out with a concussion.
Tua Tagovailoa’s parents were with him in the Dolphins locker room after he suffered a concussion against the Bills on Thursday night. Tagovailoa was reportedly conscious, awake, alert, and had full movement of his extremities. This is good to hear, and matches what we saw when Tua walked off the field under his own power.
This is a concerning development for the future of Tua’s career in the NFL. Tagovailoa suffered multiple concussions during the 2022 NFL season, making this Tua’s third concussion in just under three seasons.
Tagovailoa said before this season that his parents asked him to consider retirement after his concussions in 2022, per NBC’s Rohan Nadkarni. However, Tua decided to keep playing after consulting with a doctor.
“We went and seen a doctor. … I got to get all the information that I needed to hear from on whether it was a good idea or wasn’t a good idea” to keep playing, Tagovailoa told Meadowlark Media’s Dan Le Batard. Tua also added that his parents supported his decision to keep playing.
Hopefully Tua Tagovailoa is not seriously injured and can make a full recovery.
