Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa sustains 3rd diagnosed concussion of his career after hitting head on turf
Associated PressMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was diagnosed with a concussion for the third time in his NFL career, leaving his team’s game Thursday night against Buffalo after running into defensive back Damar Hamlin and hitting the back of his head against the turf. “We’ll get more information tomorrow and take it day by day from here.” Some players saw Tagovailoa in the locker room after the game and said they were encouraged. “If you know Tua outside of football, you can’t help but feel for him,” Bills quarterback Josh Allen said on Amazon following the game. This game of football that we play, it’s got its highs and it’s got its lows — and this is one of the lows.” Tagovailoa’s college years and first three NFL seasons were marred by injury, though he positioned himself for a big pay bump with an injury-free and productive 2023 as he led the Dolphins into the playoffs.
