Miami Faces Concerns After Tua Tagovailoa’s Latest Injury
Miami, Florida – A concerning moment unfolded during the Miami Dolphins’ game against the Buffalo Bills on September 12, 2024, when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion following a collision with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. The incident took place in the third quarter, resulting in Tagovailoa leaving the field and not returning to the game. His injury raised alarms among players and fans alike.
The collision drew attention, not just because of the impact, but due to Tagovailoa’s history with head injuries. Former players, including Dez Bryant and Lawrence Tynes, took to social media to express their concerns, suggesting that it might be time for Tagovailoa to consider his future in football. His health remains a major topic of discussion after a long string of injuries.
When asked about Tua’s ability to play safely, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel emphasized that he is not a medical expert. “I think from a medical standpoint, I don’t approach things that I’m far inferior of expertise. I’m just there to support my teammate,” he stated. McDaniel mentioned that further evaluations would take place the following day, allowing for a better understanding of Tagovailoa’s condition. He added that Tua was seen interacting with teammates, attempting to boost morale despite his injury.
Tagovailoa has a history of concussions that date back to the previous seasons. In one instance against the Bills in 2022, he was initially reported to have a back injury after a similar fall that led to a concussion. In another game against the Bengals, he experienced a frightening moment when his hands appeared to “posture,” a common reaction to severe head trauma. The Dolphins are now left hoping for a quick recovery as they navigate their season.
As fans wait for updates, the Dolphins organization continues to prioritize the safety of their players while addressing the challenges they face on the field.
