Tua Tagovailoa ruled out with concussion after hit to head on scramble in Week 2 vs. Bills

Late 3rd Quarter Miami Dolphins' Game Buffalo BillsDolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was hit hard after scrambling for a first down. Tagovailoa assumed a fencing position, a common pose for players showing symptoms of a concussion. The Dolphins point guard quickly got help and went to the locker room, and quarterback Skylar Thompson entered the game.

The broadcast announced that Tagovailoa would miss the game due to a concussion. Video of the play in which he was injured can be seen here.

Tagovailoa has a horrific concussion history. In a 2022 game against the Bills, he suffered what appeared to be a severe head injury but returned to the game. Tagovailoa himself called the injury a back hyperextension. He played against the Bengals four days later and was stretchered off after taking a blow to the head. He also missed the team's playoff game later that season after a concussion test ruled him out.

This marks the fourth known concussion of Tagovailoa's career.

Tagovailoa has publicly stated he has done a variety of things, including taking jiu-jitsu classes to learn how to roll and avoid falling on his head. The NFL also changed its concussion procedures in response to Tagovailoa's injury, and the Dolphins quarterback was immediately removed from the field.
