Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has sustained yet another alarming head injury, sparking serious concerns about his long-term health and football career.
This latest incident occurred during the third quarter of Miami’s “Thursday Night Football” matchup against the Buffalo Bills, with the Dolphins trailing 31-10 at Hard Rock Stadium.
In an attempt to scramble for a crucial first down, Tagovailoa collided with Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin, resulting in an awkward hit that appeared to render him unconscious.
The scene was chilling, as it marked the fourth time in recent years that the star quarterback has suffered a brain injury, a worrying pattern that has fans and analysts alike questioning his future in the NFL.
The injury has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many expressing concerns for Tua’s health. Former NFL star Dez Bryant took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts, saying,
“That’s it…. NFL go ahead and do the right thing. Tua has had entirely way too many concussions. He needs to retire for his longevity health concerns.”
This comes at a pivotal time in Tagovailoa’s career, as he recently signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension with the Dolphins during the offseason. However, his performance before the injury was less than stellar, with three interceptions already on the board.
As discussions about player safety and concussions continue to dominate the NFL landscape, the future of Tua’s career hangs in the balance, leaving fans wondering if this latest injury will be the one that forces him to step away from the game for good.
