It’s fair to argue whether Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should still be playing this season after suffering his third concussion in three seasons earlier this year against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2.
Tagovailoa missed four weeks with a concussion while also seeing multiple specialists and weighing his NFL future amid calls for him to retire due to the significant amount of head trauma he’s absorbed since 2022.
However, Tagovailoa made his return to the field back in Week 7 after a month away, leading the Dolphins to three wins in six games, including a three-game win streak heading into Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
It took the 26-year-old QB a little bit to regain his form, but he’s really turned it on in his last two games, and his last outing against the New England Patriots on Sunday earned him a big recognition from the NFL as the league announced Tagovailoa was the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
