Josh Tupou from the Bengals sacked Tagovailoa, and the force of the sack caused the back of Tagovailoa’s head to smack into the ground. His arms seized up immediately, and medical staff was instantly called out to the field.<\/p>\n

Don’t see how Tua can return with the form of posturing in his arms\/hands\/fingers,”<\/strong> tweeted Dr. David Chao, former team doctor with the Chargers. “Can’t be anything else but presumed head trauma that can explain that away.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All of the Dolphins’ players gathered around the medical crew as they attended to Tagovailoa. Cincinnati fans chanted “Tua! Tua!” as he was being taken off the field on a stretcher.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa underwent further examination at a local hospital. He’s since been released and\u00a0flew home to Miami<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a frightening scene, especially on a nationally televised game featured on Amazon Prime<\/em>. The Dolphins\/Bengals game had gotten significant hype. The Dolphins were one of two undefeated teams at 3-0<\/a>, and they were battling a Bengals team that went to the Super Bowl last season.<\/p>\n

Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater replaced Tagovailoa, but the Dolphins lost 27-15<\/a> and slipped to 3-1 on the season. With the victory, the Bengals improved to 2-2.<\/p>\n
