Following Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's injury during the September 29 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, his name started trending on Twitter. According to the New York Post, the quarterback was previously injured in a game against the Buffalo Bills just four days before. After being tackled, the quarterback got up, stumbled, and fell to the ground. He exited the field for testing. It was later announced that Tagovailoa passed the NFL concussion protocol while also suffering a back injury.

This caused an uproar on social media, as fans believed that the suspected back injury was actually a concussion, and the Dolphins organization found a way to get the all-clear for their star quarterback to play four days later. One mentioned that the young quarterback is only 24 years old and shouldn't have to risk his life for the game. "Tua deserved better," another fan tweeted. "If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL," former WWE wrestler-turned-neuroscientist Chris Nowinski tweeted, before the second injury even happened.

Sports experts are also chiming in. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith took to "First Take" and clamored that "Somebody need to be fired!" He further added, "Now I don't know who, but somebody got to go! At the very least, a suspension." And now, the NFL Players Association is investigating the way the Dolphins organization handled Tagovailoa's injuries.
