Tua Tagovailoa seemed disoriented on the field on Sunday due to what seemed to be a head injury. The Dolphins still gave him the go-ahead to participate in Thursday night’s game. Unfortunately, he sustained a second, much worse blow to the head. Dr. Chris Nowinski, Ph.D., warned about the troubles the QB could face.
Dr. Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. mentioned, “If Tua takes the field tonight, it’s a massive step back for [concussion] care in the NFL. If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included. We all saw it, even they must know this isn’t right.”
If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL. If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included. We all saw it, even they must know this isn't right
Tua. Joe. #MIAvsCIN is on @westwood1sports 📻 Pregame at 7:30p ET.
The former WWE Star’s prediction came true. Dr. Nowinski called it a disaster in a follow-up tweet. He also urged everyone to pray for Tagovailoa, saying that two concussions in five could end careers and even kill someone.
Chris Nowinski also went through severe head trauma in his WWE run. Wrestlers would kick him hard enough that he blacked out for six seconds. He then changed his trajectory and focused on studying brain injuries and concussions.
Tua Tagovailoa hospitalized after the brutal sack
After the Bills game, Tua was into the concussion protocol. But he came back to fight against the Bengals. But Tagovailoa again hit the back of his head after a sack by the Bengals defense, and videos showcase that his arms and fingers seized up immediately. As per ESPN, before halftime, the Dolphins mentioned the QB1 was conscious, but they moved him to the hospital.
Tua Tagovailoa's obvious concussion from last week will be under even more intense scrutiny following this. The NFLPA has already launched an investigation. Let's hope Tua is alright.
In a new update by the Miami franchise, they mentioned Tua Tagovailoa would fly back home with the team after being cleared from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. It is not good news for the Dolphins. They will not have their best guy because of unfortunate head injuries.
