Tua Tagovailoa’s safety has become a concern again after a sack in the Dolphins’ game against the Packers. Some fans noticed that Green Bay defenders made unnecessary contact with Tagovailoa’s head after the play, which has sparked a debate. Given Tua’s history with concussions, including missing four games earlier this season, fans are sensitive to any hits he takes, especially those involving his head.

The incident has ignited a discussion about whether certain Packers players intentionally made contact with Tua’s head after the play was over. While it’s difficult to determine intent, the league will likely review the play to see if any disciplinary action is warranted. Tua’s well-being is a top priority, especially considering he’s already suffered three confirmed concussions in his career.
After a week two matchup against the Bills, there were serious discussions about whether Tua should continue playing due to his concussion history. Thankfully, he’s stayed healthy since his return, and everyone’s hoping that continues. However, incidents like this raise concerns about player safety and the need for the league to take a closer look.
The NFL has a responsibility to protect its players, especially those with a history of head injuries like Tua. While accidents can happen, intentional contact with a player’s head is unacceptable and puts their career and long-term health at risk. The league must take a strong stance on player safety and hold players accountable for their actions on the field.
