What Tua’s doctors need to do next after suffering concussion, neurosurgeon speaks out | Quickcast
SUMMARY: In today’s CBS News Miami quickcast, chief meteorologist Ivan Cabrera forecasts high heat and potential rain, urging caution for outdoor plans. The Miami Dolphins prioritize quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s health after he suffered a concussion during a game. A teenager is in critical condition following a scooter accident where a Good Samaritan lifted the SUV that pinned her. In labor news, over 33,000 Boeing union workers have gone on strike after rejecting a contract; the company risks losing up to $1 billion weekly. Additionally, there’s a search for a missing pregnant woman, and Dwyane Wade will be honored with a statue at the FTX Arena.
In today’s Quickcast:
Tua Tagovailoa is now dealing with the third diagnosed concussion of his NFL career, all of them coming in the last 24 months.
And there are now questions about his future — both short-term and long-term.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback was hurt in his team’s 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, sustaining the injury on a play where he collided into Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin. Tagovailoa, who was rushing successfully for a first down, initiated the contact by lowering his shoulder into Hamlin instead of sliding as many quarterbacks do on a scramble.
Players from both teams immediately began gesturing that Tagovailoa needed medical attention as he lay on the turf and exhibited some signs typically associated with a traumatic brain injury. He remained down on the field for a couple of minutes, got to his feet and walked to the sideline after the play in the third quarter.
He made his way to the tunnel not long afterward, looking into the stands before smiling and departing toward the locker room. The Dolphins needed only a few minutes to announce that he would not return to the game.
Catch the Quickcast with Najahe Sherman weekdays at 4PM ET streaming on the CBS Miami app and CBSMiami.com

DOGE access to US intelligence secrets poses a national security threat, Democrats say
SUMMARY: Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Gerry Connolly, are questioning Elon Musk about potential risks to national security from his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They warn that staffers may have shared sensitive defense and intelligence information over unsecured channels, potentially compromising U.S. national security. Accessing various databases without proper security protocols puts sensitive data, including classified employee numbers from intelligence agencies, at risk. The lawmakers demand clarity on DOGE’s staffing, security measures, and data handling since its inception, expressing concern over Musk’s and the Trump administration’s cost-cutting initiatives jeopardizing national security and the economy.

Byron Donalds announces Governor run, but is he the GOP’s best shot for 2026?
SUMMARY: Congressman Byron Donalds has announced his candidacy for Florida governor in 2026, receiving an early endorsement from former President Donald Trump. He aims to cut insurance costs, restore the Everglades, and position Florida as a financial hub. While some Florida Republicans back him, Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed Donalds’ impact on past conservative victories. Speculation is growing that Casey DeSantis may enter the race, with polling showing her as a strong contender. Meanwhile, Florida Democrats, led by Nikki Fried, criticize Donalds’ past legal issues. Political analysts say Trump’s endorsement makes Donalds an early frontrunner, but the race remains competitive.
Congressman Byron Donalds is technically now the frontrunner for Florida’s 2026 gubernatorial race, primarily because he’s the first major candidate to throw his hat in the ring.
SUMMARY: Hamas recently returned the remains of four hostages, while Israel released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in a ceasefire exchange. This marked the conclusion of the first phase of the ceasefire, with negotiations for the next phase still pending. A total of 33 Israelis were freed, including eight fatalities, amid ongoing tensions as many hostages remain in Gaza. The October 7 attack resulted in 251 kidnappings and approximately 1,200 deaths. Meanwhile, over 48,000 Palestinians have reportedly died in the conflict. To date, 147 hostages have been released, with 59 still held captive.
