Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh did not want anyone confused about his thoughts on Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's scary injury Thursday night.

"Astonishing," Harbaugh told reporters, adding he "could not believe what [he] saw."

The coach clearly thinks the decision to play Tagovailoa Thursday night was not made with the quarterback's health in mind.

Tagovailoa suffered the injuries in the second quarter of the Dolphins' game against the Cincinnati Bengals after getting sacked by Bengal Josh Tupou.

Tagovailoa lay on the turf for several minutes before being taken off and sent to a hospital.

"I couldn't believe what I saw last night," Harbaugh said during a Thursday afternoon press conference at the Ravens' practice facility. "I couldn't believe what I saw last Sunday. It was just something that was just astonishing to see. I've been coaching for 40 years … never seen anything like it before. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing."

Last week, the quarterback suffered what many at first believed to be a concussion. Tagovailoa violently hit his helmet on the turf and tried walking it off but stumbled. He left the game for a bit but apparently passed concussion tests and returned to action.

Tagovailoa later said his back was hyperextended, which led to his wobbliness.
