The main story in the NFL for Week 2 revolves around Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. He left Thursday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills early after being hit by Damar Hamlin and was subsequently ruled out due to a concussion. Following this concerning incident, Tagovailoa received well-wishes from teammates, coaches, and even players on opposing teams.
The ongoing debate about whether he should consider retirement has resurfaced, though head coach Mike McDaniel prefers to avoid such discussions for now. On Friday, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce offered significant advice, suggesting that Tagovailoa should retire for the sake of his family, according to Tashan Reed from The Athletic and Heidi Fang.

When asked about Tagovailoa’s situation, Pierce remarked, “To be honest, I’d tell him to retire; it’s not worth it. He will live longer than he will play football. Take care of your family.”
This sentiment has been echoed since Tagovailoa’s injury against the Bills, raising many concerns for the Dolphins quarterback, who recently signed a substantial contract extension.
An update on Tua Tagovailoa is expected soon
Meanwhile, the Dolphins will rely on backup Skylar Thompson during Tagovailoa’s absence, though it is still unclear how long he will be out.
