Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen led his team to a big AFC East division win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football, but his thoughts after the game were with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Tua was knocked out of the game with a concussion, leading to fears about his future in the NFL. Tagovailoa took a hard hit in the third quarter when he scrambled for a first down and dove forward, colliding with Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
Tagovailoa went down to the turf with an apparent head injury and was taken to the locker room, with the team announcing shortly afterward that he had suffered a concussion.
After the game, Allen shared a heartfelt message with Tagovailoa.
“If you know Tua outside of football like I do, you can’t help but feel for him,” Allen said on the Prime Video postgame show. “He’s a great football player, but he’s an even greater human being. He’s one of the best humans on the planet. I’ve got a lot of love for him. I’m just praying for him and his family and hoping everything is O.K.”
It was not immediately clear how much time Tagovailoa could miss with the latest injury. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said the quarterback would undergo further evaluation and medical care on Friday.
