This latest incident has once again raised concerns about the future of his playing career, as many in the football world are calling for him to walk away from the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>While the official timeline for Tagovailoa&#8217;s recovery is still being determined, rumors have been swirling about potential replacements, with\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0backup quarterback\u00a0Trey Lance being a frequently mentioned candidate.<\/p>\n<p>According to CBS Sports, Trey Lance has been identified as a prime candidate for the Miami Dolphins to consider if Tagovailoa can&#8217;t continue this season. In\u00a0a recent column, author Cody Benjamin suggested Trey Lance as a potential option for Miami, citing his inability to surpass Dak Prescott as the starter in Dallas and the likelihood that he wouldn\u2019t cost much to acquire:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe former No. 3 overall pick has failed to earn the top backup job with the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys in successive seasons, and he remains something of a total unknown as a passer. But (head coach Mike) McDaniel is very familiar with his game, serving as the San Francisco 49ers\u2018 run game coordinator in 2021, the year Kyle Shanahan and Co. moved up to draft Lance. If nothing else, McDaniel might be able to redraw parts of the offense to work in favor of Lance\u2019s rushing ability, and the youngster isn\u2019t likely to cost a lot via trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lance is now virtually guaranteed not to secure the starting spot in Dallas (barring injury)\u00a0since Prescott recently signed a four-year contract extension, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. He&#8217;s in the final year of his contract which carries a cap hit of $5,310,714; he&#8217;ll be a free agent this offseason after the Cowboys decided this past May to not pick up the fifth-year option on his deal.<\/p>\n<p>Originally selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the 3rd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Lance would eventually find himself third on the depth chart behind Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold. He was traded to the Cowboys in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round pick last August but was designated a healthy scratch for the entire 2023 season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tua Tagovailoa has a history of concussions\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col gap-4 divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] px-4 pt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-between\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TUA-TA1.jpg\" alt=\"Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (1) walks off the field with training staff after an apparent injury during the second half against the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium. \" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Tagovailoa, who suffered a concussion on Thursday night after being hit by Buffalo&#8217;s Damar Hamlin, already has a concerning history of brain injuries.
