In Week 2 of the NFL regular season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered his third concussion since joining the NFL, all of which had come in a 24-month span.
That’s a huge deal, and he has yet to return or have a set date for his return. There have also been many rumors that Tua was considering retirement to preserve his health.
Because of his silence on the situation made it look like he was seriously leaning toward that thought.
However, Adama Schefter refuted all that with a report before the Bills and Jets Monday Night Football matchup to conclude Week 6.
“Tua Tagovailoa does expect to play again this season. … He’s consulted with doctors and he believes he is okay to continue an NFL career that many people were calling for him to walk away from,” he said.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has also been adamant since the injury that he believed Tagovailoa would return this season, and he recently gave a new update on him.
“Everything’s the same, there’s been no negatives, everything’s been positive,” said McDaniel.
