Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was diagnosed with his third career concussion Thursday night after a hit against the Buffalo Bills. He left the game and headed to the locker room, leaving his status for the remainder of the season uncertain.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is assisted on the field during the second half of an NFL football game against the Buffalo Bills , Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tagovailoa would get "proper procedural evaluation" and "appropriate care" on Friday. Tagovailoa signed a four-year, $212 million extension before this season — a deal that makes him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL — and was the NFL's leading passer in Week 1 this season. Tagovailoa left with the Dolphins trailing 31-10, and that was the final score.
McDaniel said it's not his place to say if Tagovailoa should return to football. "He'll be evaluated and we'll have conversations and progress as appropriate," McDaniel said. Tagovailoa eventually got to his feet. McDaniel grabbed the side of his quarterback's head and gave him a kiss on the cheek as Tagovailoa departed. Thompson came into the game to take Tagovailoa's spot.
