Tua Tagovailoa left the pitch this time. However, he did not return. Two years ago, after he was sacking the Miami Dolphins during a Thursday night game, the quarterback was lifted onto a stretcher, driven to a hospital, and put into an ambulance. Tagovailoa missed the remainder of Miami’s 27-15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on September 29, 2022, as well as the team’s following two games due to a concussion.
For Tagovailoa, it was the first of two concussions in the 2022 campaign. Tagovailoa was forced to miss Miami’s next three games after the second one, which occurred in a 26-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Christmas.
On a fourth-and-four play in the third quarter of Thursday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa scrambled for a first down. The former All-American from Alabama, however, gained the necessary yardage and did not fall. Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin tackled Tagovailoa, and the quarterback did not stand up following the play.
Following medical attention on the field, Tagovailoa made his way alone to the sidelines and, without stopping, made his way to the locker room. The Dolphins announced shortly after he arrived that Tagovailoa would not be playing due to a concussion.
