Former Alabama and current Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is having quite the season, throwing for over 3,000 yards and 22 touchdowns with his name being thrown around MVP circles as well.

But the latest headline surrounding Tagovailoa has nothing to do with a touchdown to Tyreek Hill or fellow Crimson Tider Jaylen Waddle, and actually not his trademark left arm either.

It was the right arm of Tagovailoa that made headlines during the Black Friday matchup against the Jets, with a chunk of skin apparently getting ripped off during a play in the game. Take a look at your own risk:

When asked after the game about the crazy injury, Tua joked that it was a big chunk that came off, so “is someone finds that it’s yours.”

He also said it would be a great story to tell his son, Ace:

“It’ll be a great story for Ace when he grows up. I saved three people in the ocean and got bit by a shark. 500 pound shark and I killed it,” Tua said with a smirk.
