Concerns over Tua’s safety flared up again during the Dolphins’ game against the Packers.
After a sack on the Dolphins’ quarterback, some fans watching the replay felt Green Bay defenders made unnecessary contact with Tagovailoa’s head.
Given Tua’s history with concussions earlier this season – missing four games after a week two matchup against the Bills – it’s no wonder fans are extra sensitive to any hits he takes, especially those involving his head.
This incident has ignited a debate, with some fans even questioning whether certain Packers’ players intentionally made contact with Tua’s head after the play was over.
It’s a difficult situation, and the league will likely take a close look at the play to see if any disciplinary action is warranted.

The concern for Tua’s well-being is understandable, given he’s already suffered three confirmed concussions in his career. Remember, after that Week 2 game against Buffalo, there were serious discussions about whether he should even continue playing.
Thankfully, he’s stayed healthy since his return, and everyone’s hoping that continues.
