Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was concussed again as the Dolphins lost 31-10 against the Buffalo Bills.

The 26-year-old went into the 'fencing position' that usually signifies concussion following a tackle by Damar Hamlin.

Tagovailoa has a history of concussions and was diagnosed minutes after leaving the field.

In the 2022 season he was diagnosed with two concussions, with the first of those coming a few days after he suffered a head injury that led to the NFL's concussion protocol being revised.

Bills running back James Cook scored three touchdowns to take their record for the season to 2-0.

Before being forced off, Tagovailoa completed 17 of his 25 attempted passes for 145 yards - including a touchdown for De'Von Achane - but had three passes intercepted.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who was detained by police before Miami's season-opening win against the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday, played in the Dolphins' defeat.

Following the incident, which took place hours before scoring a touchdown in the 20-17 win against the Jaguars, Hill called for the police officer who detained and handcuffed him to be fired.
