NFL fans are concerned over recently-concussed Dolphins star Tua Tagovailoa after he engaged in a dangerous play on Monday Night Football.
In Week 2 this season, Tagovailoa was concussed in Miami’s 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
On Monday night, the Alabama product suited up for his third game back as the Dolphins took on the LA Rams. In the first half of the game, Tagovailoa ducked down to stop LA’s Christian Rozeboom.
To secure the tackle, Tagovailoa appeared to take a knee to his head, which sparked an outrage on social media.
‘Another concussion this ain’t never going to end with Tua with these concussions it’s painful,’ one user wrote.

Another user wrote ‘bros addicted to cte,’ while a third echoed the sentiments by writing, ‘Dude is addicted to getting concussions.’
‘Nope. That’s why as a fan of the team and him, I want them to find another option next draft,’ a fourth chimed in. ‘It’s a ticking time bomb of when the next concussion will derail him.’
‘Well, he’s lost a few brain cells in the past,’ a fifth quipped.
‘Tua finding new ways to get concussed every few weeks is truly beyond science,’ a sixth commented.

The Hawaiian star’s first head injury was a grade 1 concussion that came in September 2022 against the Bengals. In December that year, Tagovailoa suffered a grade 3 concussion that sidelined him for the rest of the season.
Many urged Tagovailoa to retire from football after his injury earlier this season. However, the fifth overall pick in 2020 came back in a loss to Arizona on Oct. 27.
The quarterback also geared up for another loss to Buffalo on Nov. 3.
Miami entered Monday’s game with a 2-6 record as they hope to break a three-game skid.
