Tua Tagovailoa's parents give update on NFL star amid retirement fears over concussions

Tua Tagovailoa’s parents have insisted the quarterback will return with the Miami Dolphins for the 2023 season amid concerns over his long-term health.

Tagovailoa entered the concussion protocol once more after falling 26-20 to the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day. He appeared to bounce his head off the turf in the second half, throwing three interceptions in the loss.

Many NFL fans and figures are concerned for his health going forwards, with some even calling for him to retire after he suffered his third head injury of the season. Back in September, Tagovailoa was hospitalised due to a second head injury in successive games, suffering a concussion against the Cincinnati Bengals just days after taking a scary hit against the Buffalo Bills.
