Tyreek Hill jokes about Tua Tagovailoa running the ball when he returns from concussion: 'Who called the next play?'

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill joked about his quarterback on social media amid major concerns about his brain health.

On Friday, Hill wrote a post on X in which he joked about Tua Tagovailoa's ability to call plays, in response to an X user who suggested Tua Tagovailoa try to make a dangerous play once he returns from his recent concussion. Ta.

An X user known as Coach Fuller suggested Tagovailoa run the ball on a scheduled quarterback run if he returns from the third concussion of his NFL career.

But to Hill, the idea was light enough to joke about it.

“Who called the next play,” Hill wrote in an X response to the suggestion.

Just hours after making the joke, Hill claimed his account was under review. A social media platform's vetting process occurs when a post is flagged by a large number of users as abusive content.

“They put my account under review because of my last tweet,” Hill wrote in another post.

Many X users, including Dolphins fans, had mixed reactions to Hill's comments.

On September 12, Tagovailoa was hit by Bills safety Damar Hamlin during a game against the Buffalo Bills and fell to the turf in pain, showing signs of a traumatic brain injury, according to multiple experts. That's what it means. Tagovailoa's history of brain injuries includes two in one month of the 2022 season.

Tagovailoa's arm froze in what neurologists call a “fencing reaction,” a sign of head trauma.

Tagovailoa is currently on the team's injured reserve. After suffering his third concussion in three years, some former players and media commentators called for him to retire. The quarterback previously suffered two concussions in one season in 2022.

The third concussion has affected former NFL players, including former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, New York Giants Super Bowl winning kicker Lawrence Tynes, Broncos Hall of Famer and current ESPN host Shannon Sharpe. Players called for his retirement.

McDaniel told reporters this week that the quarterback has not yet cleared concussion protocol and will meet with a brain health specialist during the team's bye week. Asked if the team was advised to keep Tagovailoa on the field longer after he was cleared to return, McDaniel said “we haven't received anything negative” from experts. Ta.

Meanwhile, Hill has been the subject of multiple controversies for the Dolphins this year.

In the Dolphins' last loss to the Tennessee Titans, Hill was seen cruising the sideline yelling at coaches and teammates as the Dolphins trailed the Titans by double digits. McDaniel appeared to fire Hill during his rant. After the game, the coach felt the incident needed to be addressed.

“I would expect him to be obviously upset with somebody,” McDaniel said after the Dolphins' 31-12 loss. “A lot of times players can yell…He's a leader and he wanted to do everything he could to make sure the outcome wasn't that. Inside the locker room, a lot of guys We're challenging each other and certainly we're getting a chance to see what we're made of.”

Hill was infamously the focus of an incident involving Miami-Dade police in September, when he was handcuffed and thrown to the ground by officers who stopped him for reckless driving. Body camera footage showed the incident and how well Hill cooperated with officers before he was handcuffed.

The officer who handcuffed Hill was 27-year veteran Danny Torres.

Mr. Torres then became responsible for administrative duties. The Miami-Dade Police Chief placed Torres on paid administrative duty after he said he reviewed body camera footage from officers that day. Torres' attorney told Fox News Digital that he is demanding the officer's immediate reinstatement.

“As Secretary Daniels has insisted, we demand the immediate reinstatement of our client and a thorough and objective investigation,” the lawyers said in a statement. , the client would not comment.''

After the incident, Hill called for the officer to be fired.

Hill and his attorney, Julius B. Collins, have entered not guilty pleas to Hill's two traffic violations stemming from the crash, Collins previously told FOX News Digital in an exclusive interview.

“At this point, we don't have any information as to whether laser radar or something was used or whether he was pacing or anything. So, based on that, obviously he pleads not guilty. I'm going to do it,” Collins said. .

It remains to be seen whether Hill will catch a pass from Tagovailoa again, but the quarterback was scheduled to meet with a brain specialist during the team's break last week.

Team trainers and doctors may eventually allow Tagovailoa to return to the field. If that happens, he will have to make a decision whether to continue playing.

If Tagovailoa fails to pass concussion protocol for the third time in his NFL career, he could be forced to retire. If he were to retire, the Dolphins would have to pay him a huge chunk of his $212.4 million contract.

The contract, signed by Dolphins general manager Chris Grier in July, includes $167 million guaranteed. Tagovailoa has already earned $43 million of that salary and is entitled to recoup the remaining $124 million if he is medically forced to retire.

However, if he is allowed to return and chooses to retire anyway, he will lose that guaranteed money. In that case, he and the team would have to reach a settlement.

Hill currently has a four-year, $120 million contract with the Dolphins, ending in 2022.

The Dolphins have not won a playoff game with two players on the team. They started this season 2-3 with Tagovailoa sidelined since Week 2. They will return to the field on October 20th in Indianapolis to face the Colts.
