NFL world outraged after Tua Tagovailoa seemingly suffers 2nd concussion in 5 days
- Updated: September 30, 2022
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been having a very promising and strong season so far, but now everything seems to be in jeopardy for him.
During Thursday night’s contest at the Cincinnati Bengals, he took a hefty hit and lay on the field, needing to be taken off on a cart for medical treatment.
This is a disaster. Pray for Tua. Fire the medical staffs and coaches. I predicted this and I hate that I am right. Two concussions in 5 days can kill someone. This can end careers. How are we so stupid in 2022. pic.twitter.com/D8S8eEbgda

After he suffered a head injury last week, many around the sports world are angry.
Gotta get Tua outta there. Now.

That’s a BAD BADDDD look on the Dolphins man. WTF. I hope Tua is good!

Man.. that was tough to watch.
Hope Tua’s alright

Let me guess…… ✌🏼back problem✌🏼
The hypocrisy is alarming. Hope Tua is ok. #NFL

I hope Tua is ok. This is terrible to watch.

Amazon gotta stop showing this Tua injury and response.
— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) September 30, 2022
Stop showing the replays. Please.

Hope Tua turns out OK. Obviously makes you wonder how he was allowed to play tonight. The NFLPA was investigating why he wobbled and fell after banging his head on the turf vs Buffalo. Dolphins said back tightness. Sure looked like concussion.

Get rid of artificial turf fields

Praying for you @Tua 🙏🏾

Not even in the mood to watch the rest of this. Hopefully a good update on Tua comes during game soon.

Players want to play because they don’t want to let tmmates or tm dwn. That’s where tm steps in and says NO. Four day turn around are tough for any injuries, especially head https://t.co/c1AaffcQLI

#Dolphins have ruled Tua Tagovailoa out for the rest of the game with head and neck injuries. https://t.co/p9S24svrH1

Tua Tagovailoa is being taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. It is also a trauma center. I’m told Tua is conscious.

Tua is a case of NFL Teams having to protect players from themselves.

Tagovailoa left last Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, but he was allowed to return shortly after, a decision that has resulted in an investigation by the NFLPA for possibly violating the league’s concussion protocols.
The former University of Alabama star was a mixed bag during his first two NFL seasons, sometimes flashing his potential, but overall he was inconsistent. Many were doubtful he could be Miami’s next franchise quarterback.
But he has been very accurate this season, and once he put up six touchdown passes in Week 2 versus the Baltimore Ravens while completing 36 of 50 passes and collecting 469 yards, there was a feeling that he had arrived.
On Thursday against the Bengals, Tagovailoa was 8 of 14 for 110 yards until his injury.
Behind his excellence, the Dolphins, along with the Philadelphia Eagles, are the only team to win each of their first three games this season.
Until he is able to return, Teddy Bridgewater will take over for Miami under center.
