1. Tua Tagovailoa is injury prone

I know some fans will come at me for this, but the facts are the facts. Just like admitting the offensive line stinks, it is time to admit Tua Tagovailoa is injury prone. I mean, he has been injury-prone for a while now, but it is time to finally just accept he struggles to stay healthy.

Last season, the thumb injury forced him to miss a game, and now it is an undisclosed rib injury. It forced him to practically miss the Bills game, so chalk it up as another missed game due to injury.

It is a really unfortunate aspect of Tagovailoa’s game, but it is what it is. Obviously, it is not his fault Davis got him sacked, but the sack was a clean hit, and Tagovailoa had to be carted off from it. It also isn’t his fault he is injury prone; again, it is unfortunate.

Injuries happen in the NFL, and it is part of the game. However, your best ability is your availability, and right now, Tagovailoa is showing he lacks in that category only 11 starts into his NFL career. Hopefully, Tagovailoa can somehow shake the injury bug to showcase his talent the rest of the season.
