Tua Tagovailoa injury update: Adam Schefter reports on the future of the Dolphins quarterback

Adam Schefter joined The Pat McAfee Show on Friday to share the latest on the Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoas Future in the NFL.

Questions have been raised about whether Tagovailoa should continue playing after suffering another concussion. Some members of the media have called for Tagovailoa to retire, but Schefter noted that he believes Tagovailoa will return to the field unless a doctor or important person in the quarterback’s life asks him not to return.

“(Tagovailoa) was supposed to spend this week meeting with the doctors, but I think without knowing what was discussed between the doctors and Tua this week, I think here’s what you can infer that it is will require a kick.” and insisted: “Tua, you can’t play.” “Tua, you can’t do that,” because his attitude all along was that he wanted to keep playing. That’s just how he thought,” Schefter reported. “Whether there’s enough information or will the tests be so conclusive that a doctor, a family member, a friend will step in and say, ‘Wow, this isn’t happening,’ and I won’t do it.” I don’t have an answer to that.

“I don’t know what conversations have taken place or will take place in the coming days and weeks, but I know that this is a guy who, every time he’s been through a situation like this, no matter what serious she is He was determined to keep playing and that is something that has always been with him. It’s in his blood, it’s what he was trained to do and I guess that’s what he wants to keep doing, keep playing.

“So unless someone steps in and blocks him and takes him out, that’s my idea of ​​how things are going to play out.”

As it continues, it seems like everyone has an opinion about what Tagovailoa should do, but Schefter emphasized that it is the quarterback’s decision and he will have to meet with doctors and other medical personnel to determine the best course of action.

“It’s his life, his decision and his brain,” Schefter added. “Let’s be smart on the one hand, but it’s his life and his decision, and he can meet with these neurologists and make the decision he thinks is best.

“…doctors don’t operate in black and white, doctors operate in gray. They give you the range of outcomes and let the person decide what they think is best for them.”

Whether or not Tua Tagovailoa returns to the Miami Dolphins remains to be seen, but there are no signs that he is considering retirement at the moment, regardless of what outside talk is about his future.
