Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not advised to retire by multiple neurologists after suffering his third concussion since 2022, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
"A team source told ESPN that none of the neurologists Tagovailoa consulted recommended retirement, nor did they express concern he was at greater risk of additional injury after giving his brain time to heal," Louis-Jacques wrote on Friday. "Tagovailoa said Monday that he never considered retirement this time around."
The signal-caller missed four games due to a concussion in Week 2, but he's set to start in the Dolphins' clash with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after clearing protocol.
