Tyreek Hill jokes about Tua Tagovailoa running the ball upon concussion return: 'Who gone call the next play'
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill made a joke on social media about his quarterback amid major brain health concerns.
Hill made a post on X on Friday that joked about Tua Tagovailoa’s ability to call plays in response to an X user who had proposed the quarterback try a dangerous play if he returns from his latest concussion.
The X user, known as Coach Fuller, proposed that Tagovailoa run the ball on a designed quarterback run if the quarterback returns from the third concussion of his NFL career.
But for Hill, the idea was light enough to respond with a joke.
“Who gone call the next play,” Hill wrote in an X response to the proposal.
Just a few hours after making the joke, Hill claimed that his account was under review. The social media platform’s review process happens when a post is reported for abusive content by a large amount of users.
“They put my account under review because of my last tweet,” Hill wrote in another post.
Many X users, some of whom are Dolphins fans, had mixed responses to Hill’s comments.

On Sept. 12, Tagovailoa was hit by Bills safety Damar Hamlin during a game against the Buffalo Bills, collapsed to the turf in pain and showed signs of a traumatic brain injury, according to multiple experts. Tagovailoa’s history of brain injuries includes two in the span of one month in the 2022 season.
Tagovailoa’s arms froze in what neurologists refer to as the “fencing response,” a sign of head trauma.
Tagovailoa is currently on the team’s injured reserve. Some former players and media pundits have called for him to retire after he suffered his third concussion in three years. The quarterback previously suffered two concussions in the span of a single season in 2022.
His third concussion prompted cries from former NFL players to retire, including former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, Super Bowl champion kicker Lawrence Tynes of the New York Giants and Broncos Hall of Famer and current ESPN host Shannon Sharpe.
McDaniel told reporters this week that the quarterback will meet with brain health experts during the team’s bye week, because he still hasn’t cleared concussion protocol. When asked whether the team has been advised to hold Tagovailoa out longer even after he has been cleared to return, McDaniel said he has received “nothing negative” from experts.
Meanwhile, Hill has been the subject of multiple controversies for the Dolphins this year.
In the Dolphins’ last loss against the Tennssee Titans, Hill was seen patrolling the sideline as the Dolphins trailed the Titans by double digits, yelling at his coaches and teammates. McDaniel appeared to dismiss him during Hill’s rant. After the game, the coach felt the need to address the incident.
“I would expect him to be visibly upset at somebody,” McDaniel said after the Dolphins’ 31-12 loss. “A lot of times guys can be yelling at . . . He’s a leader and he wanted to do everything that he could to make sure the result wasn’t that. Within the locker room, there’s a lot of guys challenging each other, and we get an opportunity to see what we’re made of, for sure.”

Hill was infamously the focus of an incident involving the Miami-Dade Police Department in September when he was handcuffed and thrown to the ground by officers, who had pulled him over for reckless driving. Bodycam footage showed the incident and the extent to which Hill cooperated with the officers before he was put in handcuffs.
The officer who put Hill in handcuffs is 27-year veteran Danny Torres.
Torres has since been assigned to administrative duties. The Miami-Dade Police director placed Torres on paid administrative duty after she said she had reviewed the body camera footage from officers that day. Torres’ lawyers told Fox News Digital that they are demanding that the officer be reinstated immediately.
“We call for our client’s immediate reinstatement, and a complete, thorough and objective investigation, as Director Daniels has also advocated. Our client will not comment until this investigation is concluded and the facts are fully revealed,” the lawyers said in a statement.
After the incident, Hill called for the officer to be fired.
Hill and his lawyer, Julius B. Collins, entered a not-guilty plea to Hill’s two traffic citations that came from the confrontation, Collins previously told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
“At this moment, we don’t have any information whether or not laser radar or anything was used or whether or not he was pacing him or anything. So, with that, obviously we’re going to plead not guilty,” Collins said.
Whether Hill will catch another pass from Tagovailoa again remains to be seen, as the quarterback was set to meet with brain experts during the team’s week off this past week.
The team’s trainers and doctors could eventually clear Tagovailoa to return to the field. If that happens, he would need to make the decision about whether to keep playing.
If Tagovailoa is not able to pass concussion protocols for a third time in his NFL career, he could be forced to retire. If he retires, the Dolphins would have to pay out a huge chunk of his $212.4 million contract.
The contract, signed in July by Dolphins general manager Chris Grier, includes $167 million in guarantees. Tagovailoa has already made $43 million of that salary, and if he is medically forced into retirement, he will have a right to collect the remaining $124 million.

However, if he is cleared to return and chooses to retire anyway, he would forfeit that guaranteed money. He and the team would have to come to a settlement in that case.
Hill is currently signed to a four-year, $120,000,000 deal with the Dolphins, which he signed in 2022.
The Dolphins have not won a playoff game with the two players on the team. They have started this season 2-3 amid Tagovailoa’s absence since Week 2. They will return to the field on Oct. 20 in Indianapolis to take on the Colts.

Golf star records lowest round in LPGA major history with astounding performance at Evian Championship
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
There are good days on the golf course, and then there is what Haeran Ryu just did on Saturday.
Ryu, 25, recorded the lowest round in LPGA major history on Saturday with an 11-under 60 at the Evian Championship. With the South Korean golfer’s historic round, she holds a three-stroke lead.
Ryu’s round comes just two weeks after winning her first major at the Women’s PGA Championship. On the 18th hole, Ryu left a 30-foot eagle putt a few inches short, and instead settled for a birdie.

She said after the round that she had no idea what she had done until she counted up her scorecard.
“But after the putt and I counted my score with my caddie,” she said. “Oh my God, it’s 11-under par today. It was so amazing. My caddie says, ‘Yep.’ I’m so happy right now.”
If Ryu had made the eagle putt on the 18th hole, she would have been just the second player to shoot a 59 in LPGA history.

Her 60 broke the record for the lowest round in an LPGA major by one shot. Leona Maguire and Jeungeun Lee6 in 2021, and Hyo Joo Kim in 2014, each shot 61 at the Evian Championship, which was designated as an LPGA major in 2013.
The lowest round in a men’s major is 62, which is shared by four players — Branden Grace at Royal Birkdale in the 2017 British Open, Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler in the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, and Schauffele and Shane Lowry in the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla.

Ryu hopes her historic third round can help propel her to a second major win in three weeks.
“That is amazing, amazing dream,” Ryu said. “So I just want that one to come true, but we have one more day.”

Taylor Crabb is no stranger to South California beaches. The Long Beach State alum returns home this weekend to compete in AVP League matches.
It marks the first time AVP will compete in Long Beach since 2020 and allows players to compete at the 2028 Olympics beach volleyball venue.
Crabb, 34, made his AVP debut in 2013 with his brother, Trevor, and advanced from the qualifier in Manhattan Beach before finishing 25th in his first tournament.
After years of competing with various different partners, Taylor Crabb and Andy Benesh have delivered the top performances this AVP season.
The following interview with Crabb has been edited for clarity and length.
Are you excited to compete in this weekend’s event at Long Beach?
Crabb: Very excited. A lot of my college teammates and part of the school have reached out, saying that they’re gonna come. So I’m excited to get a chance to play in front of them again.
When was the last time you were in Long Beach?
Crabb: I always try to go down there for alumni events or any big games they have. I went to UCLA against Long Beach last year, when it was No. 1 versus No. 2, so I always try to get down there and support them.
You missed out on the chance to compete in the 2020 Olympics because of COVID-19 restrictions and chose not to pursue a spot at the 2024 Olympics. Are you fired up to try to compete in the 2028 Olympics, knowing that Long Beach will host the competition?
Crabb: Yeah, it’s definitely an exciting time having the Olympics in Long Beach, and we kind of get to break it in this weekend. As you said, Tokyo didn’t go the way I wanted, but I’m going full force now. I have a great partner in Andy Benesh, who obviously went to the Paris Olympics, and if it weren’t for the Olympics being in Long Beach, and me getting a partner like Andy, I’m not even sure I’d be going for it, but because of those two things, I want to make the most of it.
You mentioned that if it wasn’t for a partner like Andy, you wouldn’t be going for it. What do you mean by that?
Crabb: I didn’t feel motivated by playing in all the international events, but now, I think, sitting out kind of lit the fire under me, and I’m really motivated now.
You’ve had different partners throughout your time. What other motivation does Andy give you?
Crabb: He’s been, in my mind, the top blocker for the U.S. the last four or five years. Seeing the professionalism he brings every day to practice, on and off the court, while traveling and when showing up to tournaments, it rubs off on you and that’s really motivating to see. And I just want to make him proud.
Why do you love volleyball?
Crabb: A lot of reasons, but it’s just a feeling I have when I’m out there on the court. It feels natural. It feels like home. I was born into a volleyball family. I had a volleyball in my hands my entire life, so I’ve always just enjoyed it.

CM Punk appeared on “Friday Night SmackDown” ready to take on any challenger that was ready to step to him after winning the Undisputed WWE Championship against Sami Zayn.
Punk entered the ring in Oklahoma City and called back to the “Monday Night Raw” after WrestleMania 42 when he told Cody Rhodes he’d be ready to deliver if a championship opportunity fell “out of the sky.”

“When championship opportunities fall out of the sky, CM Punk catches them,” he said.
Punk named potential SmackDown superstars he’d think might come for the title, including Gunther, Finn Balor, Royce Keys, Damian Priest and Trick Williams. He even said that Zayn could come back around and get his rematch if he wanted. He didn’t mention Rhodes’ name, but the “American Nightmare” came out uncalled and marched his way down to the ring.
“I don’t think you and I can run away from each other anymore,” Punk told Rhodes.

Rhodes agreed and mentioned that Punk would want a match with him, just “say when.” It was a quick retort from Punk, who said, “when.” SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis, who was in the ring for the segment, booked the match for SummerSlam.
Punk will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam, which takes place Aug. 1 and 2 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
First, however, Punk and Rhodes will be involved in a tag team match at Saturday Night’s Main Event in New York City next week. Aldis made the match after Gunther demanded that Aldis put him in a match against Punk. Gunther was hoping it would be for the championship. Instead, Gunther will tag with Zayn.
Gunther didn’t take too kindly to that and attacked Aldis. Rhodes came back out to break up the calamity. He wanted to take on Gunther after the show went off air but Gunther walked away.
