Tua Tagovaiola offered unlikely retirement advice after NFL star's concerning concussion woes

Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined with another head injury after he suffered a concussion in the Miami Dolphins' clash with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, with many believing it's time to retire

Former NFL quarterback Warren Moon has controversially claimed that he feels "pretty good" despite suffering six concussions during his career, in light of Tua Tagovailoa's recent head injury.

The 26 year old Dolphins player has been put on injured reserve and is set to miss the next four weeks following a concussion sustained in a game against the Buffalo Bills. After a collision with safety Damar Hamlin, Tagovailoa needed treatment for several minutes during the third quarter of the 31-10 loss.

With this being the third concussion in his career, there have been whispers about the possibility of Tagovailoa retiring. As he recovers from his latest injury, NFL rules require him to undergo evaluation by independent neurologists.

Now, Moon has weighed in on the situation surrounding Tagovailoa's injuries, sharing his own experiences with concussions. In a conversation with TMZ, the Hall of Famer controversially remarked: "If you ask certain people, I'm out of my mind."

"But, for me, I feel like I feel pretty good. I've had a lot of neurology tests over the last so many years as part of the NFL's evaluation process and I've passed all of those. I don't feel like I've lost any memory or anything like that," he continued, emphasizing: "I don't feel like I've lost any memory or anything like that.", reports the Mirror US.

Tagovailoa has been receiving a wave of support from his teammates during his recovery, with Dolphins' Tyreek Hill sharing an optimistic update on the quarterback's condition. He commented: "Tua is doing great. I'm sure y'all done asked everybody in the locker room that, but he's doing amazing."

Hill expressed the team's collective concern, saying: "How the locker room is going - the biggest thing that we want is to make sure that Tua is all right. Once I called him the day after or whatever, I heard his voice, and heard that he was in good spirits, I was cool, man."

He emphasized the significance of Tagovailoa's well-being over the game itself: "Because to me this [...] is bigger than football. Our life is bigger than football," Hill said with conviction, highlighting the priority of health and personal life for players. "We're also individuals with families, we've got stuff going on. Once I heard that, it was cool."

Miami head coach Mike McDaniel weighed in on the situation, reflecting on the fragility of player availability: "We got to learn firsthand a nice reminder of how it only takes one play and what you think your depth is changes abruptly. So that's a move for moving forward to secure some depth in case of the unforeseen, which is timelines for us as it relates to Tua."
