Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's concussions last year forced him to briefly think about retirement, but now he is two days away from returning to the gridiron.
."It hasn’t been a thought ever since it’s happened. Ever since I’ve been cleared, it’s never been a thought to look back at that."
The investigation into Tagovailoa early last season brought an update in the protocol: The NFL and the NFLPA said that any player who shows"abnormality of balance/stability, motor coordination or dysfunctional speech caused by a neurological issue," known as ataxia, will be unable to return to the field.
The story of the 2023 Dolphins is simply"if Tua remains healthy." The team went 8-5 in games that the Alabama product started, and his 3,548 yards in his 13 contests bring him to a full-season pace of over 4,600 yards. Teammates gather around Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after an injury during the first half of the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati on Sept. 29, 2022.
Miami made the playoffs as a wild card last year, and with third-string Skylar Thompson, they almost upset the Bills in Buffalo but came up short, losing 34-31.
