NFL star Tua Tagovailoa told to retire at 24 due to concussion fears in damning claim

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been told that he should retire from the NFL with immediate effect after potentially suffering two concussions in just four days.

Tagovailoa shockingly suffered what looked to be a severe concussion on Thursday night's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, just days after many believed him to have suffered one in the win over Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins have been highly-criticised for their handling of the situation, with a number of world-renowned neuroscientists warning of the dangers of having two concussions in a short space of time.

And now, Dr Bennet Omalu, the first doctor to discover and publish findings on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in American Football players has stated that Tagovailoa should retire from the NFL for the good of his health.
