Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will return to NFL action this weekend for the first time since suffering a concussion against the Cincinnati Bengals last month.
The concussion came just four days after many had believed he suffered another concussion in the stunning win over the Buffalo Bills. Miami were highly-scrutinised for their handling of the precarious situation, with several leading neuroscientists warning the quarterback of the dangers of having two concussions in quick succession.
Dr Bennet Omalu, the first doctor to discover and publish findings on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in American Football players had told Tagovailoa that he should retire immediately. However, the 24-year-old will return on Sunday when the 3-3 Dolphins face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
