"Anyone who has observed Tagovailoa's NFL career to this point had the same fear after his three diagnosed concussions that have cost him time on the field. But Tagovailoa was fine. He got up immediately and alertly looked for a flag from officials. As Mauigoa, the hard-hitting rookie and former Miami Hurricanes linebacker, was penalized for unnecessary roughness, and Tagovailoa signaled first down as it extended a key Miami drive."
"After the game, Tagovailoa made a vague reference to altering game-day nutrition as to why he was never concerned over the contact to the head. On Wednesday, he expanded on that notion, saying he's adding carbohydrates into his pregame diet and making sure to hydrate better. "Just carbing up more for the games and then getting more fluids," Tagoailoa said."
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa took a forearm impact to the helmet after sliding short on third-and-8, but rose immediately and appeared alert. Jets rookie linebacker Francisco Mauigoa was flagged for unnecessary roughness after launching over the sliding quarterback. Tagovailoa signaled first down, the drive continued, and De'Von Achane scored a 9-yard touchdown three plays later. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a severe knee injury earlier in the quarter. Tagovailoa said he has adjusted pregame nutrition by adding carbohydrates and increasing hydration based on medical and scientific advice to help reduce concussion risk and improve brain resilience.
