Tuas career is in serious jeopardy.

I seriously think he's paralyzed right now.  Just hope it's temporary.

So does Miami catch hell for how they handled this?

Miami, and the NFL, is going to lose missions upon millions if the parties involved decide to sue. Every doctor alive told called their bluff on the “back injury”, and then this happens.

The fencing stuff is neurological. That’s hard to recover from and ever be the same. 

Agreed, he looked in about as bad of shape as I have seen a player.

Damn, that's sad.  Permanent damage is worse than having your career ended.

I think Shazier is doing pretty decently, but still permanently handicapped.  If he hadn't been such an incredible athlete he'd probably have a lot less mobility.

This is a disaster. Pray for Tua. Fire the medical staffs and coaches. I predicted this and I hate that I am right. Two concussions in 5 days can kill someone. This can end careers. How are we so stupid in 2022. pic.twitter.com/D8S8eEbgda

Man that hand thing afterwards is always scary AF

Well, he has movement in all extremities. That sounds promising.

Fucking sucky day

Damn let him be ok

McDaniels could be for real.  Puts in Bridgewater and they go right down the field for a TD

Look to have a crisp timing and flow to the unpredictable offense….looks solid. Still early in the season. Looks promising for their franchise (as they score 3 points this half)

I just saw the clip of Tua last week for the first time a few hrs ago. I cannot believe he played another snap, let alone played tonight. Such an obvious major concussion.

…back injury, GTFOH. I hope NFL and Dolphins are sued through the roof.

Insane he didn’t at least get looked at in the medical tent after wobbling and staggering on the field.

Great kick off of the emblem

Being discharged and will be returning with the team to Miami?

I don't know.  Seems like after that they should keep him overnight for observation.

Must really be checking out good in all areas? Seems odd I agree.

Look forward to Miami starting him next week and maybe let him play without a helmet and maybe not play a left tackle that game either

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

That was the worst story I ever heard

It gets better when the person who actually picked the apples found out that this douche both threw them in the dust and then stole them, went to his house and burnt it down while he was sleeping off his apple coma. 

Third World Vigilante Justice FTW!!!

Tua should have never been in the game. His hands indicate the was a severe concussion. It’s also not as scary as it looks. You see this every once awhile in MMA fights when someone is knocked out. Most of those fighters recover within a month or two. Everyone brain seems to react differently so hopefully Tua takes the time he needs to heal and comes back as good as before

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa sat next to him on the plane. They talked about how he was feeling for 15-20 mins then Tua pulled out his phone to watch MacGruber and they laughed together, per McDaniel.

Well I’m convinced. He’s fine. We don’t even have MRIs at the hospital anymore. We just have patients watch MacGruber. 

McDaniels quotes on this whole thing has been so weird. Politician avoiding any meaningful answer type of weird. 

Thought those who suffered concussions weren't supposed to fly on planes right after?

What concussion? He passed the MacGruber test.

I'd guess overnight observation (as opposed to being on the team plane that night) also is what's supposed to happen. But when a man really wants to watch MacGruber, who's gonna stop him?
