Medical experts are worried after Dolphins star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa displayed the fencing position after suffering a concussion during the 31-10 loss to the Bills on “Thursday Night Football.”
Tagovailoa exited the game after sustaining the injury late in the third quarter and was quickly ruled out.
The fencing position is described by verywellhealth.com as “an involuntary physical position that occurs as a result of severe brain injury. This type of posture resembles an athletic fencing position—one arm is bent towards the body, and the other arm is outstretched.”
Tagovailoa appeared to show this posture after being tackled by the Bills’ Damar Hamlin during his scramble for a first down on 4th-and-4 in a 31-10 game.
