During a press conference with local media Friday, Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Miami Dolphins' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should retire after suffering his third diagnosed concussion in as many seasons.

Tagovailoa left Thursday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills after a hit to the helmet prompted a fencing response in the fifth-year quarterback. He was able to exit the field under his own power and was immediately placed into concussion protocol. Tagovailoa missed five games during the 2022 season due to two more diagnosed concussions, and a third hit to the head that led to the NFL altering its concussion policy.
