Tua Tagovailoa suffered a frightening head injury last night and it was one that certainly had fans praying for his health. Last week, Tua had been cleared after undergoing concussion protocol, however, there were many throughout the league who felt like this was a hasty decision that didn’t make a lot of sense.

These fears were ultimately confirmed last night as Tua was taken down to the ground by a Bengals lineman. It seemed like your typical hit, although Tagovailoa eventually went into a fencing position which is when your hands and fingers freeze in place. This is a neurological response to brain trauma, and the Amazon broadcast continued to show close-ups.

In the aftermath of this hit, Tua was taken to the hospital and was subsequently discharged. He was allowed to travel home with his teammates, although the Miami Dolphins are not looking good in the eyes of football fans and analysts right now.

Many took to Twitter to criticize the Dolphins, and for the most part, fans want to see some sort of punishment. “The Miami Dolphins should be severely punished the way they mishandled the Tua Tagovailoa injury. At a minimum, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should take away a 1st Rd draft pick. A clear message needs to be sent to a rogue organization like the Dolphins. Someone could die!!” one fan wrote.

One reporter from Canada wrote “Anyone who didn’t think Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion last week was either incredibly naive, incompetent or just plain stupid. It was huge negligence on behalf of the Miami Dolphins which was confirmed tonight once & for all in front of everyone to see. Very, very sad.”

The Tua Tagovailoa story is why I can’t follow the NFL.

A sport that’s essentially wrestling with a bit of running and ball throwing in between is always going to have unpleasant consequences.

But the US is a violent society so of course it’s their most popular sport.

Head injuries & CTE already have football hanging onto the edge of a cliff by its fingernails in terms of youth participation.

So, if you enjoy watching, playing or coaching football etc, you should be appalled at what happened this week w/Tua Tagovailoa.

No excuse for it.

I haven’t been able to shake last night.

Tua Tagovailoa has overcome so much adversity in his young life, I’m sure this will be no different.

No one deserves success more than him. When he’s healthy, he’ll continue his breakout season and leading this team to success. #finsup

No matter what, this is a very sad situation, and we wish Tua nothing but the best, moving forward.

One of the fastest players in the NFL is taking his speed to South Beach. According to Adam Schefter, the Kansas City Chiefs have traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for a hall of draft capital. The Dolphins will sign Hill to a new four-year deal worth $120 million as part of the trade.

Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

Hill posted a farewell letter to the Chiefs and their fans on Twitter later Wednesday:

Hill is a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro and helped the Chiefs win Super Bowl LIV after the 2019 season.

Reports of the Chiefs shopping Hill began Wednesday morning when contract talks between both sides stalled. The Chiefs made an offer that would have made Hill one of the highest-paid wideouts in the NFL, but the superstar elected to explore his options elsewhere, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Hill will look to help a talented wide receivers corp in Miami get over the hump with a talented and questionable quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa.

Hill will be out to prove he is a top 3 wide receiver in the league and not a product of a system in Kansas City.
