Tua Tagovailoa suffered another gruesome injury last Thursday between the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals, which has exposed the way the quarterback’s injury was handled.

Four days before suffering a scary concussion on Thursday Night Football against the Bengals, Tagovailoa, had already when the Dolphins faced the Buffalo Bills, after he got hit, he stood up, shook his head, and stumbled after his head hit the field.
Tagovailoa was allowed to return to the game against Buffalo, a decision under heavy scrutiny after he was stretchered off Thursday. Tagovailoa’s head hit the ground hard on a hit by the Bengals’ Josh Tupou and the quarterback went into the “fencing” response, with his fingers flexed in an unnatural position.

Tagovailoa was cleared to return to the game against the Bills by a Dolphins team physician and an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant, and the team later said Tagovailoa had a back injury.
