Tua Tagovailoa's injury shocked Thursday Night Football viewers.

Last weekend, Tua Tagovailoa suffered what appeared to be a concussion against the Buffalo Bills. He fell to the ground on two separate occasions, and he was ultimately taken to the locker room for concussion protocols. Eventually, Tua was cleared and the Dolphins told the media that he had back and ankle issues.

On Thursday night, the Dolphins became the subject of intense scrutiny as Tua went down with another head injury, although this time it was gruesome. As you can see in the clip below, Tua's hands and fingers were frozen in a fencing position which is typical of someone who just sustained a traumatic brain injury.

Tua was then taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he received treatment for his condition. The quarterback was unable to leave the field on his own, and he arrived at the hospital via ambulance.

Thankfully, Tua was released from the hospital and was able to walk under his own power. He is even flying home with the team, which is very good news.

Regardless, this is a horrible look for the Miami Dolphins franchise. They failed to protect their star quarterback, and this could very well have dire consequences for not just their season, but for Tua's career as a whole.
