WATCH: Miami Dolphins Star Tua Tagovailoa Faces Injury Scare, Struggles to Stay on his Feet
Tua Tagovailoa just played the best game of his career, tossing for over 450 yards and six touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens. He will be lucky to be able to play this week after being struck by Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano.
Tua Tagovailoa, the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, hit his head on the ground during the first half of Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. He felt wobbly and lost as he stood up.
Before Milano moved a few steps and shoved Tagovailoa to the ground, he unleashed a pass. The quarterback of the Miami Dolphins struck the ground with his head hard. For roughing up the passer, a flag was raised.
Tua Tagovailoa gets injured during the game
Instead of taking him to the sideline medical tent, the team brought him directly to the locker room for assessment. He appeared to be finished for the day. After the impact, he likewise found it difficult to maintain his balance and fell to the ground.

It’s obvious that something is amiss, and it’s most possible that Tua Tagovailoa had some form of brain injury as a result of the force with which his helmet struck the ground.
Tua unbelievably returned to the game.

He’s back, it turns out. On the first drive of the third quarter, he returned to the game. The Dolphins quarterback is regarded as iffy to return, but based on the video, it does seem like an unduly hopeful perspective.
