The Miami Dolphins have a delicate situation on their hands right now.
Tua Tagovailoa suffered yet another concussion, and it’s been at least three in as many years.
Two of those concussions were in back-to-back weeks, and some people were calling for him to retire back then.
That call has only grown louder since he left the field vs. the Buffalo Bills.
Notably, Cam Newton was the latest former NFL star to urge him to just walk away from the game.
In the latest edition of his podcast, the former MVP stated that it was a fact that you are going to hurt yourself while playing football; that’s just the nature of the game.

He claimed that the severity of injuries would be a toss-up, but there was no denying that you would get hurt and get banged up.
That’s why he doesn’t think it’ll get any better for Tagovailoa.
He let him know that he only has one brain, so this is bigger than football.
Newton believes someone will eventually have to reach out to the Alabama product and speak some sense into him.
Tagovailoa is reportedly refusing to retire and is working to get back on the field as quickly as possible.
He has the rest of his life ahead of him, not to mention a family to take care of.
Hopefully, this will turn out well for him, but given the precedents, we just hope he makes the right decision.
