Football is a physically demanding sport, often resulting in players sustaining significant injuries.
During the inaugural Black Friday game, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa endured a substantial gash on his right arm, a distressing sight captured by Amazon cameras that left viewers stunned.
Tua’s wife also witnessed the injury and described it as “disgusting,” even expressing her reaction while having leftover meals. Tagovailoa himself confirmed the severity of the injury, noting the complexity of the stitches required to close the wound.
The Dolphins confronted their division rivals at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, securing a convincing 34-13 victory to advance to an 8-3 record, while New York’s season record dropped to 4-7.
This historic NFL game, played on Black Friday, was streamed live on Amazon Prime Video.

Despite the injury setback, Tagovailoa showcased resilience, throwing for 243 yards and a touchdown, although he faced two interceptions.
Tua’s journey this year marked a remarkable comeback, particularly considering his two concussions in the previous season. His commitment to strengthening in the offseason, coupled with practicing jiu-jitsu to master safe falling techniques, demonstrated his dedication to overcoming challenges.
As Tua focuses on healing, there’s optimism that the injury will mend seamlessly over his tattoos.
