Tua Tagovailoa’s recent eye injury has raised questions about his ability to perform in tonight’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Miami Dolphins quarterback experienced a notable change in form after suffering a swollen eye, leaving fans curious about his status and performance.
Tua Tagovailoa’s Eye Injury Update
Before the Dolphins’ game against the Ravens, Tagovailoa was listed on the injury report due to a left thumb injury but fully participated in practice. On October 26, he revealed that he woke up with his eye swollen shut, which medical staff treated with antibiotics. As of October 28, he reported significant improvement, stating, “I could see a lot better than I could.” He is not expected to have any limitations for tonight’s game.
On-Field Performance
In his last game against the Atlanta Falcons, Tagovailoa delivered an impressive performance after donning a visor for the first time in his professional career. He completed 20 of 26 passes for 205 yards, scoring four touchdowns, and recorded no interceptions, leading the Dolphins to a 34-10 victory. The visor appeared to have served as a protective measure for his eye, which he plans to continue using even after healing.
Previous Struggles and Challenges
Tagovailoa’s season has been marked by challenges, including injuries and inconsistent performance. In an earlier loss to the Cleveland Browns, he struggled, completing just over 50% of his passes and throwing three interceptions. Issues with his thumb and a previous hip injury have compounded his difficulties this season.
