The NFL has declared it will not influence the decision on when Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can return to play after his third diagnosed concussion, emphasizing patient autonomy in medical decision-making. NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills stated that Tagovailoa's return will be determined by independent medical experts and not the league. Tagovailoa has been consulting with outside neurologists and has expressed no intention to retire despite concerns. He was placed on injured reserve following his injury during a game against the Buffalo Bills and is eligible to return on October 27 against the Arizona Cardinals. The NFL's stance highlights the complexity and individuality of concussion management, acknowledging that no specific formula can predict future concussion risks.
