LOS ANGELES — First the hit, then the hands.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion after a hard hit in a Thursday night game against Cincinnati on Sept. 29 — probably his second head trauma in a four-day span — and his gnarled hands were frozen in an unnatural and deeply troubling way.
As he was on his back on the field, Tagovailoa's rigid hands were spread wide and raised above his face, his fingers splayed in different directions. The Amazon Prime cameras provided a close-up view.
