Tua Tagovailoa responds after NFL star told to retire at 24 due to concussions

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is set to return to action this weekend after missing two weeks of football following his scary concussion he suffered against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The concussion came just four days after many had believed he suffered a previous one in a win over the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins were been highly-scrutinised 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.

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.
