Schefter said on Monday Night Countdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;There is a feeling here that he is bound to come back. For all the talk there was about Tua Tagovailoa and how he should stop playing and retire, the fact of the matter is that when his four games are up on injured reserve that he&#8217;s going to be back in the Miami Dolphins&#8217; lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;There&#8217;s a real possibility that he&#8217;s going to be back that soon.

The signal caller went down after the collision, slamming his head on the Hard Rock turf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He has now suffered three known concussions in the NFL, after his 2022 season was cut short by head injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In Week 3 of that year, he was rocked by a huge tackle and went into the fencing response, but later returned to the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In Week 4, he exhibited concussion symptoms again after another brutal hit and was stretchered from the field.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-80db5baf5922b04e\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/10\/01\/02\/89637715-0-The_Dolphins_quarterback_suffered_a_concussion_the_third_known_o-a-54_1727746930020.jpg\" alt=\"The Dolphins quarterback suffered a concussion - the third known of his NFL career\" width=\"634\" height=\"426\" data-gallery-handler-attached=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imageCount-2Mnr9\"><span class=\"plusSign-1IpQy\">+<\/span>8<\/div>\n<div class=\"viewGalleryText-2XMcO\">View gallery<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container-3zJLP horizontal-1eH9F\">\n<ul class=\"linksHolder-3KBa2\">\n<li class=\"linkItem-2NXrW shareIcon-8A2dW\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">The Dolphins quarterback suffered a concussion &#8211; the third known of his NFL career<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-4545b8ec8cfde877\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/10\/01\/02\/89648765-0-Many_fans_and_former_players_called_for_the_signal_caller_to_wal-a-57_1727746961970.jpg\" alt=\"Many fans and former players called for the signal caller to walk away from the game\" width=\"634\" height=\"466\" data-gallery-handler-attached=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imageCount-2Mnr9\"><span class=\"plusSign-1IpQy\">+<\/span>8<\/div>\n<div class=\"viewGalleryText-2XMcO\">View gallery<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container-3zJLP vertical-2XJd5\">\n<ul class=\"linksHolder-3KBa2\">\n<li class=\"linkItem-2NXrW shareIcon-8A2dW\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Many fans and former players called for the signal caller to walk away from the game<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Later in the season, in Week 16, he suffered yet another concussion, which ended his season, and sparked a change to the NFL&#8217;s concussion protocol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And the latest scare has led many\u00a0<span data-track-module=\"internal-body-link\">former players to call for Tagovailoa to put his health as a priority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Former NFL star Dez Bryant led the charge of calls for his retirement on social media as Tagovailoa was led out of the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;That&#8217;s it,&#8217; Bryant wrote. &#8216;NFL go ahead and do the right thing.
