What happened to Tua Tagovailoa? Latest on Dolphins QB's status after taking a hit during MNF vs. Rams

Against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, Miami Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made his third consecutive start since returning from a concussion that sidelined him for four games.

However, Tagovailoa made a daring tackle attempt that endangered his health during the game, giving everyone watching the Monday night game a scare.

LA Rams linebacker Christian Rozeboom intercepted a pass thrown by the quarterback during the first half. After that, Tagovailoa tried to tackle Rozeboom to regain possession of the ball, but his attempt was met with disapproval from many as he plunged headfirst and struck Rozeboom's knee.

NFL fans and analysts were quickly alarmed by the risky tackle technique because of Tagovailoa's history of concussions.

However, Tagovailoa was unharmed by the challenge and got to his feet right after without displaying any symptoms of injury. He talked about his choice to plunge headfirst after the game, shrugging off his bad tackling technique.

Tagovailoa laughed and acknowledged that his tackle was a bad challenge after the game. "Didn't feel any of that. That was pretty bad tackling form, though. That was pretty terrible," he said.

The most important thing is that Dolphins supporters can relax knowing that Tagovailoa did not sustain another head injury during that play and won't be missing any games.
