Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa hospitalized after suffering frightening in-game head injury

Creepy moment during "Thursday Night Football"... Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was rushed to hospital after sustaining what appeared to be a serious head injury.

The 24-year-old signalman was injured in the second quarter of Miami's game against the Bengals...when he was wrapped up by a defender and thrown to the turf.

Tagovailoa's head hit the ground hard and he immediately seemed to lose consciousness.

Coaches and team staff rushed to attend to him...before finally strapping him to a backboard and transporting him to a nearby hospital in Cincinnati.

Dolphins say he, fortunately, "is conscious and has movement in all his extremities."

Tagovailoa left last week's game against the Bills after sustaining an injury in a similar play - although he and the team told media afterwards that he only suffered a back injury.
