Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left Thursday night’s Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills after taking a hard hit to the head on a fourth-down play in the third quarter.
Minutes after the hard hit, Tagovailoa was ruled out of the game with a concussion.
Tua committed to this run to pick up the first down and got carried away and didn’t know how to protect himself
Literally just ran right into Damar Hamlin who didn’t look like he was set to deliver a hard hit

Tagovailoa’s head collided with Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin after the quarterback put his head down as he tried to gain a first down at the 4:24 mark of the third quarter. Right after the hit, the 26-year-old quarterback’s right hand balled into a fist while the right arm went straight into the air.
Tagovailoa stayed on the ground while concerned players took a knee and trainers quickly attended to him.
Tagovailoa, who is in his fifth NFL season, has a history of concussions, including one in 2022 that landed him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
