Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa X-Rays Come Back After Getting Carted Off Field Following Vicious Tackle

Miami Dolphins fans were in a full state of panic after Tua Tagovailoa was carted off to the locker room with a rib injury after taking a hit from Buffalo Bills defensive end AJ Epenesa during Miami’s second drive of Sunday’s game.

He collapsed to the ground before he got to the Dolphins’ sideline. Tagovailoa briefly sat on the bench before being carted to the locker room.

The Dolphins said he was questionable to return.

Soon after the injury, his x-rays would come back and show nothing was broken.

So, nothing broken for Tua, but the MRI will tell the full story on cartilage, etc. Officially, he remains questionable to return. Jacoby Brissett is in against the #Patriots. https://t.co/BcsbmaWlb2
