Miami Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will miss his first career playoff due to not clearing the NFL concussion protocol. with Tua missing his now third straight game because of a concussion. He will miss the Dolphins Bills wildcard weekend playoff game and what was shaping up to be a great rematch once again.
With Tua having multiple concussions in the same season, it was likely that he was going to miss extended time once he suffered his second concussion, which was in the beginning of the Green Bay Packers game in week 16, it was confirmed that Tua was playing the whole second half of the Green Bay game with a concussion that the NFL did not check him during the game. In the second half of the Green Bay game, many teammates, and fans thought Tua had a concussion due to his horrible play in the second half in which he threw three interceptions quickly after getting concussed
With Tua dealing with lots of injuries and concussions this year, some believe and speculate, that he could retire due to all of the physical wear and tear on his body and brain that he suffered in the last couple seasons of his career, Tua has not ruled that out yet and many believe he is considering retirement.
The Miami Dolphins will be starting third string quarterback Skyler Thompson, in which he has played the last couple weeks, filling in for Tua Tagovailoa and back up Teddy Bridgewater, who has a pinky injury on his throwing hand, and when he suffered in week 17 against the New England Patriots.
