Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in the third quarter Thursday night against the Bills and has been ruled out for the game.
MIAMI — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out of Thursday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills after suffering a concussion.
Late in the third quarter, Tagovailoa scrambled up the middle for a first down and lowered his shoulder to initiate contact with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Tagovailoa’s helmet made hard contact with Hamlin’s body, and the quarterback immediately went into a fencing response with his arms in an unnatural position.
Dolphins medical trainers attended to him for several minutes as players knelt around him. He was ultimately able to walk off the field under his own power and into the team’s locker room.
Tagovailoa was quickly ruled out for the game. It is the third diagnosed concussion of his NFL career.
Tagovailoa was the subject of widespread attention in 2022, when he hit the back of his head on the ground in a game against the Bills.
