Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion for the third time in his NFL career during Thursday night's game against the Buffalo Bills. The injury occurred in the third quarter when Tagovailoa collided with Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin and hit his head on the turf. He was evaluated by medical staff and ruled out of the game.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tagovailoa would get "proper procedural evaluation" and "appropriate care" on Friday. Tagovailoa signed a four-year, $212 million extension before this season — a deal that makes him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL — and was the NFL's leading passer in Week 1 this season. Tagovailoa left with the Dolphins trailing 31-10, and that was the final score.
McDaniel said it's not his place to say if Tagovailoa should return to football. "He'll be evaluated and we'll have conversations and progress as appropriate," McDaniel said. Tagovailoa eventually got to his feet. McDaniel grabbed the side of his quarterback's head and gave him a kiss on the cheek as Tagovailoa departed. Thompson came into the game to take Tagovailoa's spot.
