Tua Tagovailoa has been on the road to recovery since suffering his third confirmed concussion
The Miami Dolphins placed him on injured reserve following the concussion during a Thursday night loss to the Buffalo Bills last month.
Studies have shown that NFL players, particularly those who have experienced multiple concussions like Tua Tagovailoa, may be at higher risk for various neurological issues later in life.
Despite many calling for him to retire, the young QB wants to continue his career.
On Monday, it was revealed that Tua is expected to resume playing during the 2024 NFL season.
However, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel made it clear that he will not be playing this week when the team travels to Indianapolis to play the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
