Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during his team’s 31-10 loss Thursday night to the visiting Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins said – marking another head injury for a player who previously expressed concern about his history of them. Tagovailoa left the game in the third quarter after he scrambled for a first down and took a hit to the head by Bills safety Damar Hamlin. The 26-year-old stayed on the ground at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens and was attended to by Dolphins trainers. Tagovailoa eventually walked off the field under his own power and was replaced by backup quarterback Skylar Thompson. Tagovailoa was “ruled out with a concussion,” the Dolphins said on social media. Tagovailoa has a history of concussions, having suffered multiple during the 2022 season. In April 2023, he said he considered walking away from football “for a time” after the concussion issues. The fifth-year pro was in “good spirits” after the game, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters. “I talked to him in the locker room,” McDaniel said. “Obviously, I talked to him on the field, and then talked to him in the locker room before he was headed home. He was in good spirits.”
