Tagovailoa Departs, Leon Back for Sea Devils

The Hamburg Sea Devils have announced the departure of quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa. The 25-year-old is returning to his home in Hawaii for family reasons. The decision was made mutually between the player and the franchise.

Tagovailoa joined the Sea Devils in May and started two games, including both recent home matchups: a strong win against Berlin Thunder and the Week 3 game against the Stuttgart Surge at Bremen’s Weserstadion. Over those two games, he threw for 315 yards and 3 touchdowns, while adding 46 rushing yards. He was intercepted twice.

Sea Devils General Manager Mark Weitz expressed his thanks: "We thank Taulia for his commitment over the past weeks and wish him and his family all the best for the future."

Micah Leon returns to action

With Tagovailoa's departure, focus now shifts to Micah Leon. The quarterback, who was injured in Week 1 against the Madrid Bravos, is expected to return to full training soon. Leon knows the system well and will rejoin the team officially starting next week.

For the upcoming Week 5 game against Rhein Fire, Moritz Maack will once again lead the offense as the starting quarterback. "We’re happy to welcome back Micah – a quarterback who already knows the team, our system, and how we operate,"said Weitz.
