Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills following what was a scary scene.

Tagovailoa’s head slammed off the turf after a hit from Bills linebacker Matt Milano that drew a roughing the passer penalty. He appeared dazed when he got to his feet and then nearly collapsed after taking a few steps. You can see the frightening sequence below:

Tagovailoa was immediately pulled off the field. The Dolphins announced that he was being evaluated for a head injury.

Tagovailoa was 8/10 for 76 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. The former Alabama star is off to a good start this season and has led the Dolphins to a 2-0 record.
