Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa left Miami’s Thursday Night Football contest against the Cincinnati Bengals in Ohio after a scary hit from Bengals DT’ Josh Tupou in the 2nd quarter.
Tupou drove Tagovailoa’s head into the turf, with Tua’s helmet slamming violently. It appeared as if the quarterback lost consciousness and his fingers locked up - known as a fencing response.
The entire Dolphins team gathered at midfield while Tagovailoa was stretchered out of the stadium. He was taken directly to the hospital. Shortly after, the Dolphins ruled Tagovailoa out for the remainder of the game with head and neck injuries.
