Tua Tagovailoa Ruled Out For Wild-Card Weekend
2 years agoMiami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike McDaniel said that as of Wednesday, Tagovailoa still hasn't been cleared to resume football activities with the team after suffering his second concussion of the season on Christmas Day. Teddy Bridgewater is also dealing with a dislocated pinkie finger on his throwing hand that he suffered in Week 17, so the Dolphins are currently preparing to start rookie Skylar Thompson this weekend. The 24-year-old Tagovailoa played in only 13 games in his third NFL season but still had a career year thanks to the addition of All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill. Injuries have been a problem for Tua early in his career, and it's fair to wonder if his head injuries will continue to be an issue heading into 2023.
