Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left Thursday’s game against the Buffalo Bills with a concussion, the team announced. After a fourth-down run in the third quarter, Tagovailoa collided head-first with Bills safety Damar Hamlin as he went to the ground. Tagovailoa’s teammates immediately called for trainers as he laid on the field before he eventually walked off under his own power. Last season was the only year in his career in which Tagovailoa appeared in every game for the Dolphins.
The concussion Tagovailoa suffered against the Bengals came on the heels of a controversy in which the NFLPA believed he wasn’t properly evaluated for a concussion four days earlier in a game against Buffalo. Tagovailoa briefly left that game with an injury but wasn’t checked for a concussion, eventually leading to the NFLPA firing the independent neurotrauma consultant in charge of pulling players with a suspected head injury off the field.
