Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has faced significant health concerns following his third diagnosed concussion in two years, which occurred during a game against the Buffalo Bills. Neuroscientist Chris Nowinski and Broward Health Medical Center's chief of neurosurgery, Dr. Christopher Roberts, highlighted alarming signs of trauma, including the 'fencing response' posture indicative of serious brain injury.
