In a concerning turn of events, Miami Dolphins' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined due to a concussion during the second half of the Thursday night showdown against the Buffalo Bills. This incident adds another chapter to Tagovailoa's troubling history with head injuries.
With just over four minutes left in the third quarter, Tagovailoa made a daring 6-yard dash toward the Buffalo 7-yard line. The play took a grim turn as he lowered his head, colliding with the right arm of Bills safety Damar Hamlin. The impact was significant, visibly affecting Tagovailoa who struggled to rise, his arm twisted in a distressing angle.
Despite the alarming situation, Tagovailoa managed to walk off the field with assistance, making his way to the locker room for further evaluation.
This is not the first time the Dolphins' quarterback has faced concussion issues. His fifth season in the NFL has been marred by similar incidents, recalling the end of his 2022 season which saw him placed on injured reserve following a concussion. This pattern of injuries raises serious concerns about his long-term health and career sustainability.
In Tagovailoa's absence, backup quarterback Skylar Thompson stepped in. The Dolphins, now facing both a game and a season potentially impacted by the health of their leading quarterback, find themselves at a critical juncture.
