Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left Thursday’s game against the Buffalo Bills with a concussion, the team announced.
Last season was the only year in his career in which Tagovailoa appeared in every game for the Dolphins.
Against the Cincinnati Bengals on a Thursday night game that season, Tagovailoa suffered his first concussion, exhibiting the fencing response after his head hit the ground on a sack.
The concussion Tagovailoa suffered against the Bengals came on the heels of a controversy in which the NFLPA believed he wasn’t properly evaluated for a concussion four days earlier in a game against Buffalo.
In July, the Dolphins signed Tagovailoa to a four-year, $212.4 million contract, with $167 million guaranteed.
