Tagovailoa to Be Discharged From Hospital After Head/Neck Injury

The Dolphins provided an encouraging update on Tua Tagovailoa following Thursday Night Football after the quarterback suffered head and neck injuries in the second quarter against the Bengals.

Shortly after Miami fell to Cincinnati, 27–15, the Dolphins announced Tagovailoa is expected to be discharged from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he was taken after the injury, and he will fly back with the team.

The frightening scene unfolded after Tagovailoa’s back and head slammed onto the turf following a sack by Bengals defensive tackle Josh Tupou. Miami’s training staff tended to the QB who laid on the ground for several minutes before he was eventually stretchered off the field and transported to the hospital.
