According to comments made by Dolphins head coach Brian Flores to the NFL Network, the hub has undergone additional tests to enable him to make this diagnosis.
He had left the second duel of his family, on the second attacking streak, when AJ Epenesa violently tackled him. The Dolphins then suffered a heavy loss of 35-0.
This means that the 23-year-old athlete will not be in uniform against the Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Tagovailoa had helped his team triumph over the New England Patriots in the first week, having completed 16 of his 27 stints, for 202 yards, in addition to making a touchdown pass. He had also registered a major himself, on a race.
