Former\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0stars, as well as fans, are telling\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa<\/a>\u00a0to consider hanging up his cleats after he suffered another concussion during Thursday night\u2019s loss to the Bills.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old exited the game in the third quarter after going head-first into a Bills defensive back, Damar Hamlin, and was ruled out for the rest of the game due to a concussion.<\/p>\n This would be the third confirmed concussion of his career, which raises major concerns over his health.<\/p>\n Tagovailoa suffered two concussions during the 2022 NFL season, and that doesn\u2019t include one where he hit his head and proceeded to stumble down the field. He was allowed to return to that game and was later ruled to have had a back injury and not a concussion.<\/p>\n Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and former Cowboys standout Dez Bryant were two of the strongest voices who stated that Tua Tagovailoa should hang up his cleats for good.<\/p>\n \u201cReally hope Tua is ok, but he\u2019s gotta seriously think about shutting it down,\u201d Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe wrote. \u201cI H8 saying this. His concussions are getting worse and worse, and he\u2019s a young man with his entire life ahead of him.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cThat\u2019s it\u2026. NFL go ahead and do the right thing. Tua has had entirely way too many concussions. He need to retire for his longevity health concern,\u201d the former wide receiver wrote on X.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Miami Dolphins<\/a>\u00a0head coach\u00a0Mike McDaniel<\/a>\u00a0is not one of those people who plan on adding to that list.<\/p>\n Minutes after Tua Tagovailoa suffered his latest concussion Thursday, many called for him to finally retire for his long-term health.<\/p>\n His latest concussion comes less than two years after Tagovailoa suffered numerous head injuries in the 2022 season. He missed numerous games that year.<\/p>\n The talks around his concussions stopped after he played 18 games in 2023 without an injury.<\/p>\n Now, it has returned with a vengeance.<\/p>\n On Friday morning, McDaniel addressed reporters and made sure to stand beside his quarterback while fighting against suggestions that his quarterback should retire.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re talking about his career. His career is his. I just wish people would, for a second, hear that bringing up his future is not in the best interest of him,\u201d McDaniel\u00a0told reporters<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nDolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel Pleads For Everybody To Stop Telling Tua Tagovailoa To Retire<\/h2>\n
