Stephen A. sounds off following Tua Tagovailoa's injury | First Take

I like the part where the Miami coach said, "I would never put a player in harm's way." Dude, it's football. Every game is like being in a car crash.

Bart Scott had outstanding commentary about the situation.

I am a Bengals fan and after seeing Tua lock up like that I was furious. Couldn't even enjoy the rest of the game. I just hope Tua is able to recover and live a normal life.

I swear my heart stopped for a second when I saw Tua’s hands after that hit last night. There’s absolutely no reason why he was out there last night after what happened just 4 days prior. None.

he wasn't even walking straight after the head injury against the bills... major L to the dolphins medical staff for letting him play this game and not taking him out for the remaining of the bills game

When I watched the game last night I said to my wife exactly what Bart Scott said. I don't think I want to let our son play football anymore ,and how happy I was that it seems like he likes basketball more now. My prayers go out to Tua.

There's been more injuries during this era of football and analysts say it's "Safer than the game of the past." BS!!🤣🤣

My ex-wife argued with me that our son should NEVER be allowed to play football in school when he gets older because of the danger and risks. I argued that there are risks and dangers in a lot of things you do; including and especially mental, and if he grows for that to become a dream of his to let him play. After seeing Tua last night, my viewpoint has become way harder to defend to even myself. I’m sure a lot of parents out there feel the same after seeing that.

Dude was stumbling and shaking his head walking of Sunday. NFL just based on those images should have not let him back in. Dolphins saying it was his back should be ashamed, everybody else with the limited knowledge we have on the concussions, could see that he was some sort of concussed. The pressure of them being 3-0, Tua being doubted, all combined in to what has happened now....

Everybody knew it was a concussion that Sunday that 3-0 start got them moving wreckless

I have been a legit Dolphins fan for 7 years now . I am completely heartbroken for my guy Tua . When everyone out there talk down on him I never did !!! They have a lot to say about people, comparing him to his draft mates and Tua has a better winning record than Justin and Joe . Joe did his thing taking his team to the Super Bowl I give him props for that but WINNING is what Tua all about ! Tua won over my heart to be the Miami Dolphins QB1 . I have a lot of faith for him never doubted him. What I saw last night maneeeee I shed some tears. Wow ! Things happens so fast when that happen I didn’t care about the game no more . hoping for an fast recovery for him and I hate that this maybe messed up his whole career I am heartbroken 💔

It is a really good point when he was talking about the parents' kids saying "why would we subject our children to this?"

I agree with Bart on this. Prayers to Tua and his family.

Bart always comes with it. Stephen A. needs him on the show

A fatality in the NFL will end up looking exactly like what we saw live on Thursday night...prayers up for Tua 🙏

I agree. The flexing of the hands was scary. I've seen it before with head injuries. They allowed this to happen by the reaction they had last week. The concussion checks were supposed to prevent this! This is a young man, and this could be a life-altering injury!! No one wants to see this!! This is why Giselle wants Tom to quit! Because these injuries happen in seconds, and there's no getting your brain back.

Miami Dolphin only see Tua as a product and only care for getting 100% wins. The whole organisation is at fault here

Medical team and coach should be investigated

That man hit his head on the ground, got up woosy, and they said it was his back 😩 Miami didn't have Tua's best interest at heart.

Being left handed myself I was living vicariously (shoutout to the homie in the comments)through him since college. Very sad to see him get hurt. He’s tough, I hope he comes back when he’s legit ready.
