Oh no.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left the game against the Buffalo Bills have suffering an apparent head injury.
Miami trailed Buffalo 31-10 in late in the third quarter and faced a fourth-and-4 from the Bills‘ 13-yard line.Tagovailoa scrambled for a first down and rather then choosing to slide, lowered his shoulder into Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
Tagovailoa appeared woozy and wobbled on the ground after the play. He got back to his feet during an injury timeout and walked gingerly off the field.

Prayers for Tua Tagovailoa. Note his right hand balling into a fist and his arm going straight in the air. That’s posturing and a sign of loss of consciousness and a #concussion. Certainly out for the game. So sad. pic.twitter.com/e6wYIDVaZa
