CINCINNATI -- Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was taken off the field on a stretcher and the Dolphins’ 3-0 start to the 2022 NFL season came to an end in a 27-15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Thursday night.
The Dolphins announced Tagovailoa sustained injuries to his head and neck after he was sacked by defensive tackle Josh Tupou in the second quarter and his head slammed on the turf. The team said the third-year quarterback was conscious and had control of all his extremities as he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, about four miles north of Paycor Stadium.
According to the Amazon Prime broadcast, Tagovailoa is expected to be discharged from the hospital tonight and return with the team to Miami.
