Tua Tagovailoa was urged by many within the NFL community to retire following his latest concussion, but all signs continue to point to the Miami Dolphins star playing again. Not only that, but one prominent reporter believes Tagovailoa will be back this season.
Adam Schefter discussed Tagovailoa’s status during a Tuesday morning appearance on ESPN Radio’s “UnSportsmanLike with Evan, Canty, and Michelle.” Schefter shared the noteworthy update that Tagovailoa has been “symptom-free” as the quarterback approaches the three-week mark since he suffered his most recent concussion. Schefter also said he would be surprised if Tagovailoa sits out the rest of 2024.
“I think he’s gonna be back,” Schefter said. “I think that’s something that a lot of people at the time thought was challenging, if not unlikely. The fact of the matter is, he has been symptom-free and he has felt better. He has visited with neurologists and, to my knowledge, I don’t think anybody has said to him, ‘You can’t do this.’ I don’t think anybody has said that, and I think he wants to go do this. … I think at this point in time, it would be surprising if Tua didn’t come back.”
