Tua Tagovailoa has been taking judo classes in order to protect himself from head injuries as he falls after the Miami Dolphins quarterback suffered several high-profile concussions during the 2022 NFL season.
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, subsequently throwing three interceptions in the loss to the Packers.
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.
