Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has finally made a decision on his career.
In the aftermath of his latest concussion, which is his third confirmed one in the National Football League, the Dolphins quarterback has made it clear that he has “no plans” to retire.
That’s according to NFL Network, which reported this early Sunday.
“He has no plans to retire. In fact, his eyes are already on returning to the football field,” Rapoport continued. “As far as when that goes, we simply do not know. Every concussion is different. The way every player responds to a concussion is different. He will be healthy enough to play when he is healthy enough to play and when he and his doctors decide that.”
Tua Tagovailoa has spent the weekend recovering from his latest concussion, which occurred when he was scrambling and collided with Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin on Thursday Night Football.
Hamlin’s arm caught Tagovailoa in the facemask, and he went down into a fencing response, which signals that a person has lost consciousness.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback is reportedly consulting with several concussion specialists but remains without a timetable for a return.
Mike McDaniel Refuses To Join Retirement Discussion After Tua Tagovailoa’s Latest Concussion
Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was sensitive about Tua’s health Friday and wouldn’t speculate on whether the quarterback would want to retire from his latest concussion.
McDaniel held a web conference with reporters and reported that Tua Tagovailoa was still sleeping at home after his concussion in a 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium.
McDaniel made it clear that he is not going to join the discussion on whether Tagovailoa will contemplate retirement after yet another case of head trauma, stating, “It would be so wrong of me to even sniff that subject, and it’s more in line with actually caring about the human being, and that’s something that entirely you’re talking about his career,” McDaniel said.
“His career is his, and that’s something that I really, really, really wish – I totally understand it, and it’s not misplaced; I totally get how that’s where people want to go to – I just wish that people would, for a second, hear what I’m saying that bringing up his future is not in the best interest of him. So I’m going to plead with everybody that does genuinely care, that that should be the last thing on your mind.
“The people whose opinions matter the most are Tua and the doctors.”
