Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has suffered another concussion, his second in a "Thursday Night Football" game this season, after being hit by Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa endured another terrifying moment on "Thursday Night Football," suffering a concussion after a jarring hit from Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin. The incident occurred in the second half of the game when Tagovailoa, attempting to gain a first down, collided with Hamlin in the open field.
Tagovailoa exhibited signs of disorientation immediately after the collision, with uncontrolled hand movements and grimacing. Medical staff promptly rushed to his aid, and despite initially walking off the field under his own power, the Dolphins later confirmed that he had indeed sustained a concussion.

This concussion marks the second such injury for Tagovailoa in the past two games against the Bills. Just one week prior, he appeared to suffer a concussion during a home game against Buffalo, but it was initially ruled as a back injury. The quarterback also endured three concussions during the 2022 season, including a disturbing incident against the Cincinnati Bengals where he was removed from the field on a stretcher with posturing fingers.
Tagovailoa's history of head injuries raised concerns about his long-term health. During the offseason, he admitted considering retirement due to the potential risks associated with CTE. However, he expressed confidence heading into the 2023 season and played every game.

Before suffering his latest concussion, Tagovailoa had thrown one touchdown and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. His performance has been a topic of scrutiny, particularly in light of his previous head injuries.
The Dolphins will now need to determine the severity of Tagovailoa's concussion and follow concussion protocol. The quarterback's availability for future games remains uncertain.

The Dolphins and the entire NFL community will hope for Tagovailoa's full recovery. The quarterback's health and wellbeing take precedence over any football game.
