Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is facing a concerning situation after suffering his fourth diagnosed concussion in five years, with his latest being his third while in the NFL. Reports have surfaced that he will be seeing a neurologist this week to assess his condition and determine the best course of action.

Despite these setbacks, Tagovailoa remains focused on his recovery and is actively seeking information to improve his condition. It has been clarified by a source close to him that retirement is not currently on his mind, emphasizing his determination to overcome this obstacle.

The injury occurred during Miami’s recent game against the Buffalo Bills when Tagovailoa collided with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. The incident has sparked discussions about his future in the league, with some suggesting that he should consider retirement.

While opinions vary on what the quarterback should do next, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has refrained from expressing his views on the matter. He stressed the importance of respecting Tagovailoa’s personal decisions and avoiding speculation about his future.

In a recent statement, McDaniel stated, “I think it would be so wrong of me to even sniff that subject and it’s more in line of actually caring about the human being, and that’s something that entirely you’re talking about his career, right?” Despite the ongoing discussions about Tagovailoa’s future, McDaniel urged people to prioritize the player’s well-being over making assumptions about his career path.
