Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa recently made headlines after sustaining an injury during a Thursday Night Football game, when he left the field at Hard Rock Stadium with a concussion while playing against the Buffalo Bills. The 26-year-old athlete has been playing in the NFL for several years and has experienced multiple concussions throughout his career. This latest concussion, which occurred in the third quarter, contributed to Miami’s 31−10 defeat.
His coach, Mike McDaniel, expressed his concern the day after the game, on Thursday, September 12, saying: «My thought was concern, and I was just worried about my guy. It’s not something you want to be a part of; you hope it doesn’t happen». He continued, adding, referring to ESPN: «The furthest thought from my mind is what the timeline is. We just need to assess and just worry about my teammate…»
Although the star Miami quarterback had previously contemplated his career due to these injuries, here are five facts about the NFL star, gathered by HollywoodLife:
