Recently, Tua Tagovailoa faced another career setback after suffering a concussion, prompting two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Long to issue a stern warning to the Miami Dolphins regarding the quarterback’s condition.
During a tough game against the Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa sustained his third NFL concussion in the third quarter after scrambling for a first down and colliding with Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s forearm. After the hit, Tagovailoa exhibited a fencing response, leading medical staff to treat him for several minutes. Although he managed to walk off the field, he was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel shared that Tagovailoa was in good spirits but stressed the need for a thorough evaluation before determining a timeline for his return. Skylar Thompson replaced him as quarterback for the rest of the game and is expected to start against the Seattle Seahawks if Tagovailoa remains sidelined. McDaniel expressed confidence in Thompson, citing his strong performances last season.
Chris Long, on his show *Green Light With Chris Long*, emphasized the serious long-term impact of multiple concussions. Despite the recent injury, Tagovailoa is not considering retirement. He plans to consult neurologists to evaluate his condition before making any decisions regarding his football career. For now, Tagovailoa is prioritizing recovery and his health before returning to play.
