Tua down again with a head injury. I'm surprised he was allowed back in last week. This time looks serious.

Exactly what I told my husband! And dude was having an episode.

He was out cold and him not giving a thumbs up as he left the field on the stretcher isn't a good sign either. Hope he's ok, that didn't look good at all.

I hope he's ok too. Head and neck injuries are scary as hell that you don't wish on anyone. Even Eagles players Tongue

Damn fine pass and catch to Tee Higgins.

It was right to the back of his head. At the start I thought he had injured his finger on a helmet from the way he was holding it. Then they showed the replay.

I think it's clear he probably didn't hurt his back last week. The NFLPA is going to go after the Dolphins after this. He is probably going to be out a while now as I doubt any doctor will want to clear him with the NFLPA looking to go after the NFL.

The NFLPA was already investigating it. This should put it on the front burner. I have a feeling there's going to be some big-time fines against the Dolphins.

Yea his fingers doing what they did is a clear sign of head trauma. He got knocked out and suffered a concussion for sure, at the very least. How serious is the question.

A team can do a whole lot worse than Teddy Bridgewater as the backup QB.

Caldrac · 09-29-2022, 09:53 PM

That looked really, really bad. Not a good look tonight for the NFL and Miami. I hope he's alright. He was having his best season so far and the pressure must have been high to keep it going.

They just said he has full movement, which is great news.

**Bchbunnie4** · 09-29-2022, 10:01 PM

Why did they have him in this game? That should never have happened!

What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???

americus 2.0 · 09-29-2022, 10:03 PM

I'm glad he has movement in all extremities but that does not mean he's okay. Far from it.

I absolutely hate the bleached out, sweat stained theme the NFL has commissioned for their head gear this season. It looks like something they found on a homeless person.

Because it was a ‘back injury’ last week.

Anybody that believes that after seeing last weeks replay, I have some lovely property in Sanibel Island for sale.

Dolphins look to be in deep trouble until tua comes back

How much is a lot worse?

I'm mostly joking. Hes alright.

I actually checked to see if that was the current style this year or if he snuck an old stained one on the sideline.

I don't think they can get away with calling this one a back or an ankle, though.

That was violent. Glad to hear by end of game that everything appeared ok and he was discharged from emergency care.

Hopefully he's following up with specialists in Miami because there is exactly no way he didn't sustain some sort of TBI, no matter how "minor". And it won't be minor because he was still recovering from last week.

Has no one learned from former players' injuries and TBIs suffered by troops in combat? No, he wasn't sitting in an APC that ran over an IED, but brain injuries are brain injuries and football players are constantly exposed to their brain being concussed to a degree every time they're tackled or hit the ground just as troops are in combat.

The helmet only protects bones being broken, they don't lessen the brain being knocked around inside the skull.

If these guys are willing to do this to themselves they need to be willing to heed protocol and listen to doctors and the league and teams need to let them. TBIs and CTE are real and never go away.

Does this surprise anyone given the Dolphins recent history with tampering and tanking accusations?

One thing I'll say is that the examiner on gameday is not affiliated with the team, they have no skin in the game whether the player returns to the game or not.

On Sunday, Tua sure looked like a dazed fighter more than someone with a sore back. If he got his wits about him and managed to pass or bluff his way through the screening, he's got a talent that could land him in trouble. If he managed to pass tests on Sunday and prior to the game last night, you can't really say this is a case of Miami subverting any rules.

The hit he took yesterday would have probably injured most any QB in the league. He was slung to the ground and slammed his head against the turf very violently. Having done the same only 4 days prior only amplified the potential for this hit to do him great harm.

I think players put more pressure on themselves to tough out injuries, it's not necessarily the team.
