The injury virus hit Hawaii players hard during the 2021 NFL season.

On Saturday, Marcus Mariota was added to injury reserve by the Las Vegas Raiders after sustaining a quad injury during Monday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens, meaning he will miss at least three games. Punahou alum and Houston Texans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn was also put into the injured reserve prior to the start of the regular season.

On Sunday, two Saint-Louis alumni were towed away in separate games. Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Tyson Alualu broke his ankle in the first quarter of a 26-17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, while Tua Tagovailoa, quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, shot a shot in the first quarter of a 35-0 loss to the Buffalo Ribs shot bills.

Alualu’s season is in all likelihood over. In the meantime, Tagovailoa will have an MRI done on Monday to see what his next steps are.
