Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a scary concussion injury in the game against the Cincinnati Bengals a few weeks ago. Tagovailoa's injury had the league and the Dolphins in trouble as they allowed him to play just a few days after he took a brutal hit in the game against the Buffalo Bills.

Despite the seriousness of the injury, Tua Tagovailoa recovered well and is now ready to get back on the field, on Sunday when the Dolphins take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Prior to the game against the Steelers, Tagovailoa talked about the injury that he suffered against the Bengals and what went through his mind at the time. He was speaking on Pro Football Talk.

"I wouldn't say it was scary for me at the time because there were, there was a point where I was unconscious, so I couldn't really tell what was going on. So when I did come to and kind of realized what was going on, what was happening, you know, I, I never, I didn't think of anything, you know, long term or short term. I was just wondering what happened."

"I remember the entire night up to the point where I got tackled. But, yeah, after, after I got tackled, I don't remember much from there, getting carted off. I don't remember that."

Tagovailoa added:

"But I do remember, you know, things that were going on when I was in the ambulance and then when I arrived at the hospital."

Everyone is happy that the former Alabama quarterback is back healthy as the injury suffered against the Bengals didn't look good. Tagovailoa has played quite well this season, and the Dolphins also need him back because they weren't looking like the same team without him.


Tua Tagovailoa has proven his worth to the Miami Dolphins

Before the start of the season, many people doubted whether Tua Tagovailoa was the right man for the job in Miami. The arrival of Tyreek Hill has made the team a lot better and anything less than the playoffs will be deemed a failure for this team.

While Tagovailoa was playing, the Dolphins won three straight games to start the season. Since he got hurt in the game against the Bengals, they have lost three straight games and are now 3-3.

The Dolphins will now face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and with Tua Tagovailoa back, they'll hope to get back to winning ways.

Tua Tagovailoa has certainly proven his worth to the team, and if he continues to perform like he did prior to his injury, he is expected to get a new contract as well.
