NFL’s history of injury coverups
Injury cover-ups are nothing new in the NFL. Many players over the years have been misdiagnosed, and the extent of their injuries covered up for the sake of the league. Take Tua Tagovailoa’s case. Tua is currently one of the top QBs in the league. The 2022-23 season was a breakout year for both Tua and the Dolphins, as he led the team to one of the best regular seasons.
But after a string of concessions, heavily caused by injury mismanagement by the Dolphins, the QBs career is at stake. With nearly half a dozen concussions over the last couple of seasons, Tua’s injury history makes it increasingly difficult to gauge his abilities. Wolfe’s story is certainly shocking, but as we said, nothing new for the NFL.
