Minutes after Tua Tagovailoa suffered his latest concussion Thursday, former NFL players took to social media — and later to national broadcasts — to call for the Miami Dolphins quarterback to step away from football.
Thursday’s concussion comes less than two years after Tagovailoa suffered numerous head injuries in the 2022 season, which forced him to miss extensive time. After that season, he told reporters he considered retiring.
Following Thursday’s concussion recurrence, a wave of former and current NFL players suggested now is the time for Tagovailoa to walk away from the game.
