J.J. Watt, Russell Wilson, NFL stars react to injury to Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa

Stop showing the replays. Please.

Very thankful today for the Patriots' trainers/medical staff for the way they handled my concussion in 2011.

I was out on my feet, they took it seriously, and I spent the year on IR. They saved me from myself. I would've rushed back if they let me. They didn't.

Prayers for Tua.

That’s a serious injury . Tua shouldn’t have been out there with Sunday Thursday turn around. Sometimes players need protecting from themselves. Dolphins failed Tua

Dude should not have been playing tonight

It was no reason that man should of been in the game. SMH. Protect yourself because some people only see you as a football player.

Truth be told Tua should probably never have been playing.

He displayed neurological trauma last week, we disregarded it, labeled it a “back injury” & let him back in the game.

Now, the whole world watch as he lay on the field helpless. When will we put player safety FIRST!

Say it louder Trey!

I know what I saw and Tua was concussed last week. The fact that he was able to return to play is everything that’s wrong with the game so many of us love. A full investigation is forthcoming. Praying for this young man right now. This is awful to witness.

Tua 4 days ago. The Dolphins will have to answer for this. https://t.co/DlNIVMPZmC

The bottom line regarding Tua is LIFE is bigger than football. Teams should always put the person before the player. Health before competitive advantage.
Putting Tua out there isn’t just a player safety issue. It’s a quality of life issue.

As big of a fan of Tua’s as I am, was hard to see what happened to him, and I didn’t get to see it live. The young man has endured enough. Here is to hoping he is ok, and as much as I want him to shut all of the doubters up, I don’t want to see him play until he is 100% healthy.

I didn’t buy Tua’s back injury, & I’m afraid I was right. I’ve had 2 concussions in 3 weeks before, & the 2nd was so much worse than the first.

Take care of yourself bro. We can lie to others, but we can’t lie to ourselves. If you watch the film you know, and the film don’t lie

Somebody should lose their job over this man. With what happened to Tua last week….cmon!

— Damien Woody (@damienwoody) September 30, 2022

I really hope Tua’s “back” injury has nothing to do with this very apparent head injury tonight. As we know repetitive head trauma can be detrimental long-term. In my opinion I see a lot of similarities to tonights injury and the “back “injury only 4 days ago..
