Tagovailoa went into the 'fencing position,' a typical sign of a concussion, after being tackled by Damar Hamlin.

The 26-year-old has a history of concussions, with this being diagnosed shortly after he left the field.

In the 2022 season, Tagovailoa suffered three separate concussions, including back-to-back weeks.

Before leaving, Tua completed 17 of 25 passes for 145 yards, threw a touchdown to De'Von Achane, but had three interceptions.

Despite being detained by police before the Dolphins' season opener, wide receiver Tyreek Hill played in the loss against the Bills.

Hours before scoring a touchdown in the Dolphins' season-opening win, Hill was detained by police and later called for the officer’s firing.

The Dolphins’ loss to the Bills was significant, overshadowed by Tagovailoa's injury and Hill’s recent off-field incident.
