The recent injury to Tua Tagovailoa has raised significant concerns about his long-term health and future in the NFL. Experts and former players are urging the Miami Dolphins quarterback to consider retirement due to his history of concussions.

With his potential absence, the Dolphins must evaluate their options at quarterback. Coach Mike McDaniel highlighted the team’s performance against the Buffalo Bills as pivotal for the upcoming season. Projected win totals and playoff chances would dramatically decline without Tagovailoa, leaving Miami searching for alternatives.

Several potential replacements have been considered, including Ryan Tannehill, who has experience with the Dolphins, and Trey Lance, who could bring a fresh dynamic. Other candidates like Jimmy Garoppolo, C.J. Beathard, and Joshua Dobbs are also on the radar as Miami analyzes its options for maintaining competitiveness.
