Tua Tagovailoa Did In Fact Suffer Concussion vs Packers, Will Not Play Sunday

Despite losers of four straight, the Miami Dolphins control their own destiny in hopes of their first playoff berth since 2016, but things just got a whole lot more difficult.

Concussion protocol has revealed that Tua Tagovailoa did indeed suffer a concussion during Sunday’s loss to the Packers on Christmas day. If Tua did suffer a concussion in the Dolphins loss to the team’s win over the Bills back in September, it would be his third of the season.

Dolphins’ HC Mike McDaniel told reporters that QB Tua Tagovailoa did, in fact, suffer a concussion Sunday.

It has not been revealed if the hit in question late in the second quarter that went viral on social media was in fact the hit to the turf that caused said concussion, but chances are high.

Saw this live. And I recorded it because I knew as soon as I saw it. This happened late in the 1st half. And I believe Tua played 2nd half with a concussion. His head bounced off the ground. And it was very similar to the hit in Cincinnati. 3 INTs in the 4th qtr. proved it to me. pic.twitter.com/Djl0xkGToX

Teddy Bridgewater is in line to start against the Patriots this upcoming Sunday.

Miami is winless in games where Tua doesn’t play this season.
