The Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sustained a concussion for the third time in his NFL career, leaving his team’s game on Thursday night against Buffalo after running into defensive back Damar Hamlin and hitting his head on the turf. Tagovailoa was down for about two minutes in the third quarter before walking to the sideline. He soon made his way to the tunnel, looking to the stands before smiling and walking to the locker room.
The Dolphins later announced it was a concussion. The team said he had two in the 2022 season, and Tagovailoa was diagnosed with another concussion while a college player at Alabama. Tagovailoa signed a four-year, $212 million extension before this season – making him one of the highest-paid players in the league – and was the NFL’s leading passer in Week 1. Tagovailoa left with the Dolphins trailing 31-10, which was the final score.
