It was another concussion Tagovailoa suffered on national television that gave players and fans alike some pause. Players like former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, Super Bowl champion kicker Lawrence Tynes and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe wondered if Tagovailoa should consider thinking about his future.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was asked after the team’s loss to the Buffalo Bills whether he thought it was safe for Tagovailoa to play football.

"I think from a medical standpoint, I don’t approach things that I’m far inferior of expertise. I’m just there to support my teammate, like I said," McDaniel told reporters. "I think for me to go ahead and forecast things that I don’t know in my non-field of expertise, I don’t think that’s appropriate.
