The Miami Dolphins are back in the sights of one former WWE superstar after their quarterback suffered another concussion on Christmas Day.
This superstar, who is also an advocate for players who suffer concussions, is also a neuroscientist.
With his experience, he has the credentials to talk about concussions.
However, his latest take is interesting.
So which former WWE superstar is giving answers to Tagovailoa’s latest concussion?
Chris Nowinski Answers Seven Questions About Tagovailoa’s Concussion
When NFL insider Ian Rapoport came out with a report that Tua’s status for the Dolphins next game was “in doubt,” it set Chris Nowinski off.
Tua’s status is “in doubt”?? Zero chance he plays next week. Consider:
1. He “displayed & admitted to having #concussion symptoms”
2. Admitting to symptoms after a head impact is the gold standard for diagnosis
3. Tua knows what a concussion feels like
He has a concussion. Period https://t.co/3XURrv56eK— Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. (@ChrisNowinski1) December 27, 2022
His tweet about this had him telling the world that Tua has “zero chance” of playing.
However, the former WWE superstar didn’t stop there, as he then wrote a blog answering questions about this latest concussion.
On his Concussion Legacy Foundation website, he answers seven questions about Tua and his future.
He reveals how he feels NFL spotters had no way of knowing the star quarterback had suffered a concussion.
But he also believes that “changing the protocol wouldn’t fix this.”
However, he continues with something troubling to hear.
He says, “Tua would be further risking his career to return this season, but a doctor may not be willing to tell him that.”
His comments about a doctor possibly being unwilling to tell him the risks of a return are horrifying.
With Tua unofficially suffering three concussions this season, doctors should be honest with him about the risks.
While Nowinski didn’t go after the NFL this time, his words still have a troubling message to those who read them.
