Dolphins and Bengals are playing Thursday night football.

This is QB Tua Taglovailoa last weekend:




He sustained a head and neck injury toward the end of the second quarter tonight and was carried off the field. Now he's in the ER, said to be speaking and moving his extremities.

So much for concussion protocols.

It was obvious they were lying all week.
That sack wasn’t that serious to create that severe of a result.

Judge hit his 61st homer. Watching that was so scary.

Warning, Not an easy watch. Neurological reaction? Last report from the hospital is he was moving all his extremities. All the best Tua.



Guess you have to link through to youtube to watch it. Peace.

Here’s hoping for a recovery.

I love this sport, and I sometimes question why because of stuff like this.

I hope Tua will be okay, and he at least gets some needed time off.

The fencing response with his arms & hands is a bad sign!



What Is Fencing Response and Why Does It Happen?
https://www.healthline.com/health/fencing-response
When a person experiences an impact that’s strong enough to cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as a concussion, their arms often go into an unnatural position. This position — forearms extended or flexed, usually in the air — follows the impact and is known as the fencing response position. It lasts up to several seconds after the collision.

The fencing response is often seen when a player is knocked down or knocked out during full-contact athletic competitions such as football, martial arts, boxing, rugby, and hockey.
