Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was taken off the field in a stretcher following a scary situation. While being sacked, he was driven to the ground on his back and hit his head hard on the turf.
The Dolphins–Bengals Thursday Night Football game took a prolonged break while Tagovailoa lay on the field, immobile.
His face mask was removed and was eventually put onto a stretcher and taken off the field and brought to the University of Cincinnati hospital.
Tua Tagovailoa has been taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. He is conscious and has movement in all his extremities.

The Miami Dolphins have since tweeted that he has movement of all extremities. The account also tweeted that updates will follow.
This comes less than a week after Tagovailoa took a hard hit against the Buffalo Bills that led to him being evaluated by an NFL neurologist. He was cleared to return, stating that it was a back injury. He returned to finish the game in the second half.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow updates regarding the health and status of Tua Tagovailoa.
