Tua taken to hospital with head, neck injuries

CINCINNATI — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was taken off the field on a stretcher during the second quarter of Thursday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tagovailoa hit the back of his head on the ground when he was sacked by Bengals nose tackle Josh Tupou, and his arms appeared to seize up almost immediately. He remained on the field for roughly 10 minutes before he was loaded onto a stretcher and taken away.

The Dolphins said he suffered head and neck injuries, and he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

The Dolphins gave an update on Tagovailoa shortly before halftime, saying he was conscious and had movement in all his extremities at the hospital.

The Dolphins entire sideline gathered around midfield as he was taken off.
