According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Tua should be good to go Thursday despite back and ankle injuries, provided he does not suffer any setbacks. Star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is also expected to play through a groin injury.
Tagovailoa's health was a significant storyline during and after a Week 3 victory over the Buffalo Bills. He temporarily left the game after taking a hard hit and stumbled when he attempted to walk, although he eventually returned and led Miami to a victory.
The Dolphins initially announced it was a head injury, although head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters after the game it was a lower back issue that caused his legs to wobble.
Despite McDaniel's comments, Pelissero reported the National Football League Players Association had opened an investigation into how the team handled a concussion check for the quarterback.
Tagovailoa entered the 2022 season under something of a spotlight as he attempted to establish himself as the long-term franchise quarterback for the Dolphins after an inconsistent start to his career.
The 24-year-old has responded by completing 71.3 percent of his passes for 925 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions, taking advantage of an offense that has plenty of firepower with Tyreek Hill and Waddle on the outside.
Chris wrote: "This is a disaster. Pray for Tua. Fire the medical staffs and coaches. I predicted this and I hate that I am right. Two concussions in 5 days can kill someone. This can end careers. How are we so stupid in 2022."
According to information, Americans have taken out to social media to send prayers or pray for Tua Tagovailoa following the fingers and hands injury.
Reactions below:
Michael: Prayers for Tua. Shouldn’t be playing in this game if you ask me. Dolphins organization need to take a step back and reevaluate the morals of their medical staff.
Johnson: This was 3 days ago… prayers for tua whoever was involved in letting him play gotta face punishment, that injury looked real life threatening, some things are more important than football 🤦♂️ #NFL.
President may: Dolphins are about do lose draft picks and get fined. We all know they lied last week about him getting confused. Disappointing.nasty. Classless from a franchise that always seems to disappoint.
God Bless and prayers for Tua
#Finsup #nfl.
Pasau: Prayers for Tua. Miami should be facing major fines after making Tua play 4 days after his “back injury” that was obviously a concussion. Let me repeat. It happened 4 days ago. Makes me sick.
Obi: After the dolphins mistreated Tua Tagovailoa’s head injury last week, this happens this week. This is why the NFL has protocols that takes the decisions out of the players hands. Some players will put their life in danger for the team. Bad look for the dolphins. Prayers for Tua.
Prophet: Prayers up for TUA! That is heartbreaking to see.
The Miami Dolphins’ dream start to the season could potentially turn into a nightmare after just one play. Star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa took a massive hit on a sack against the Cincinnati Bengals and had to be carted off the field.
