This latest concussion occurred during the third quarter and contributed to Miami’s 31-10 loss. He expressed his concerns about being a part of such incidents and emphasized the need to evaluate and support his teammates. Tua, whose full name is Tuanigamanuolepola Donny Tagovailoa, was born in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, on March 2, 1998.
