The year 2022 had been quite eventful for Tua Tagovailova in his professional career. From dreadful concussions to getting back on the gridiron and winning games, it takes a lot of courage. While his return following another injury during the Packers matchup remains uncertain, his brother dropped a major update on his career.

The Dolphins quarterback experienced the second concussion of the season last week. Although he looked quite normal and continued playing, the situation worsened after he returned to the locker room. This made fans and experts speculate about his future, claiming he would retire anytime soon.
Sadly, it happened. Tua Tagovailoa is in the #concussion protocol after reporting symptoms today, likely from this play in Q2 ⬇️. Missed by team again, despite poor play & 3 INT's after. 3rd concussion of season-no doctor in their right mind can clear him this year. Season over.
If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL. If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included. We all saw it, even they must know this isn't right
However, his brother Taulia Tagovailova quashed all those rumors and revealed that the passer would continue until his wheels fell off. “I just feel like he’s not going to stop playing football,” he said in an interview.
“I feel like every opportunity he has, he is going to try to play, I don’t know, it’s just ‘go until the wheels fall off.’” Taulia added. Indeed the Tagovailova brothers seem to be constitutionally strong and have no plans to exhaust their career aspirations in such a short time.
Tua Tagovailova is just 24. He is playing in his third NFL season, and in this meantime, he has racked up surreal records. His accuracy and ability to launch deep passes elevated his status in the NFL.
Moreover, his brother Taulia Tagovailova also happens to be a quarterback playing for the Maryland Terrapins. Soon he would make an NFL debut playing alongside his big brother.
Meanwhile, last week’s loss to Aaron Rodgers and Co. became the fourth straight defeat for the Dolphins after a promising start this season. It was a close encounter, but the game slipped in the final quarter with Rodgers showcasing his masterclass.

Tagovailova’s concussion happened during the later first half. His head slammed against the turf and looked similar to his past incident with the Bengals. He got up instantly and continued playing; however, head coach Mike McDaniel later revealed that he had experienced a concussion.
NFL world prays for Tua Tagovailova and slams the management authorities
Tagovailova’s concussion earlier this season forced the league to come up with new protocols. It enhanced the security measures of the players. However, that doesn’t seem to have created any difference because the medics team didn’t check the quarterback following the hit.
I hope tua the person is okay. Since he single-handedly lost 4 games in a row and pretty much ruined our playoff chances all on his own I hope he’s done
I have to wonder if these new helmets just don’t protect the back of their heads.. this is similar to what happened the last couple times.
3 concussions in a span of what couple months? Insanity!
I bet the @MiamiDolphins doctor will have no issues clearing him though 😞 @NFL and @NFLPA really need to step in here. Dolphins clearly are not following the concussion rules.
Some players can take hits, fall correctly, kind of roll with hits. Others are more prone to take bad falls, land wrong, get hit awkward. I think Tua is in the latter camp. Injury prone. He needs to hang it up.
In the coming week, Tagovailova won’t take the field. Instead, the backup Teddy Bridgewater will take the charge. It will be interesting to see how the youngster plans his future, considering all these back-to-back injuries and his performance in the league.
