On Saturday Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa showed up on the team's injury report due to an illness ahead of their Week 8 clash with the Falcons. It passed mostly under the radar given how poorly Miami's season has gone, as well as the fact that every week there are NFL players who wind up getting sick and land on the pregame injury report.
But whatever Tagovailoa is dealing with carried over to Sunday and it had fans concerned. It turns out the Dolphins QB is battling some sort of illness that caused his left eye to swell up in a very noticeable fashion. Ahead of the Falcons game CBS reported he warmed up in sunglasses and will wear a visor for the first time in his career to deal with the swelling.
