Tua Tagovailoa suffers another scary concussion
Tua Tagovailoa suffered another scary head injury.
The Dolphins star quarterback — who suffered multiple concussions during the 2022-2023 season — was injured during a run in the third quarter of Miami’s “Thursday Night Football” game with the Buffalo Bills.
Oh no, not again for Tua Tagovailoa…

Trailing 31-10 at Hard Rock Stadium, Tagovailoa was looking for a key first down … when he collided awkwardly with Damar Hamlin – and appeared to lose consciousness.
Take a look at the footage from the game’s broadcast. His body seemed to have a screen reaction – similar to the one he went through during his now infamous 2022 concussion against the Bengalis.
Tagovailoa lay there for several minutes as trainers rushed to his aid. Fortunately, he was eventually able to get up and leave the field under his own power.
His head coach, Mike McDanielgave him a kiss on the forehead as he made his way to the locker room — and moments later the Dolphins ruled him out of the game with a concussion.
It is now at least the fourth time in recent years that Tua has suffered a brain injury – and many on social media are wondering whether it will jeopardize his career.
Particularly ex-NFL superstar Dez Bryant said on
Tua – who had thrown three interceptions prior to the injury – signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension with the Finns this offseason.
