On Wednesday, he was asked how his arm was doing and shared that his wife caught wind of the injury as she was eating some Thanksgiving leftovers.

"It’s good. I was told by my wife – she didn’t see it but then she got text messages from people about what it looked like and they said it was disgusting while they were eating their leftover meals," he said.

"Sorry, I couldn’t help you there. I didn’t know it happened until I came to the sideline and then Mike White sort of pointed it out. I guess it was just from the adrenaline. It was a nice chunk that came off. If someone can find that piece, that’s yours."

Tagovailoa said he received some stitches but wasn’t expecting a tattoo touch-up anytime soon. He said it will make a good story for his son in the future.
