It happened again to Tua Tagovailoa.
During Thursday Night Football, the Miami Dolphins quarterback tried to scramble to the end zone to get his team back in the game, but he failed miserably.
Tua Tagovailoa took a hit to his head and neck area, and it was clear he was suffering a head injury.
Tua was trying his best to get on his feet, but it was not working.
Prayers: This is the play where Tua went down.

After a few minutes, Tagovailoa was able to walk off the field under his own power.
Before he left the game, Tua was having a bad game as he tossed for 145 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
There is no word yet on whether Tua will make it back to the game and whether he will miss time. Hs health comes first, and no one wants to put the remainder of his career at stake.
Tua Tagovailoa Takes Jiu-Jitsu To Help His Career Amid Concussions
After a season in which he missed five games because of a pair of concussions, Dolphins quarterback Tagovailoa practiced jiu-jitsu to better find himself not taking big hits to the head.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback had weekly judo training to learn how to fall better.
Those falling techniques are presumably what Tagovailoa focused on as he looked to protect his health moving forward.
It worked, as he did not miss a game during the 2023 season.
