Tua Tagovailoa reportedly has no plans to retire, will meet with neurologists before deciding football future

Tua Tagovailoa's football future is up in the air after his latest concussion, but he's not in a rush to end his career just yet.

Although there is still a lot to consider, Tagovailoa reportedly has no plans to retire, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Per Rapoport, Tagovailoa does not have a timeline for his return, but has met with concussion specialists.

The Miami Dolphins quarterback still has some thinking to do as he recovers, though. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Tagovailoa planned to meet with neurologists early this week before making any big decisions about his football future.

Tagovailoa was knocked out of the Dolphins' Thursday night game after lowering his head during a run-in with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Tagovailoa was left reeling on the ground and did not return after being escorted from the field by athletic trainers.

All concussions are concerning, but they get more concerning when a player has a history of head injuries. Tagovailoa certainly falls in that category, having considered retirement after sustaining multiple concussions in the 2022 season. He has been diagnosed with four concussions in his past five seasons.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel declined to offer any timeline for Tagovailoa's return after the game, a 31-10 Dolphins loss:

Another head coach, Antonio Pierce of the Las Vegas Raiders, went as far as telling reporters he would tell Tagovailoa to retire out of concern for his health.

The question now is if the neurologists have similar advice.
