    Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was knocked out of Thursday’s NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills after taking a hard blow to the head in the third quarter.

    Tagovailoa, in his fifth season with the Dolphins, scrambled for a first down on fourth-and-four late in the third quarter and his helmet struck the shoulder pads of Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin. Tagovailoa was on the ground for several moments before leaving the game under his own power and heading to the locker room.

    How Many Concussions Has Tua Tagovailoa Had? Injury Timeline

    Tagovailoa, who suffered a head injury on “Thursday Night Football” against the Bills, has suffered three concussions in his NFL career. Thursday’s injury was the third.

    Tagovailoa’s first confirmed NFL concussion came during the 2022 season, during a terrifying moment on “Thursday Night Football” against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. The play was the subject of controversy, as Tagovailoa had suffered a hard fall to the turf four days earlier against the Bills in what was originally ruled a head injury but was later determined to be a back ailment. Tagovailoa returned to the game against the Bills in Week 3.

    The moment led to the NFLPA firing the independent neurologist who helped clear Tagovailoa and reinstating him in the second half of a Week 3 game.

    Tagovailoa suffered another concussion in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers, causing him to miss the final two games of the season, including a playoff game. Tagovailoa returned in the second half against the Packers and threw three interceptions. The concussion was not ruled a concussion until after the game.

    It is unclear whether he ever suffered a concussion before his college career at Alabama.
