Thursday Night Football turned out to be a nightmare for the Miami Dolphins after Tua Tagovailoa incurred a serious head injury. This incident happened days after the quarterback experienced a similar concussion against the Buffalo Bills. NFL veteran and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe analyzed the situation, offering a wise suggestion for the quarterback.
On Thursday, the Week 4 face-off between the Dolphins and Bengals witnessed one of the worst incidents in league history. Tagovailoa was sacked by the Bengals nose tackle Josh Tupou, where he hit the back of his head against the turf and remained there for more than five minutes.

The motionless Tagovailoa scared all the viewers and players on the field. In the recent episode of UNDISPUTED, the Broncos legend Shannon Sharpe discussed the issue with his co-host Skip Bayless.
He raged talking about the issue and confirmed that the injury was quite serious. It could hamper his way of leading a healthy life. Moreover, he asked the quarterback to give a second thought to his return by consulting as many doctors as possible. “I don’t know the man’s spending habits are, I don’t know what he has in the future,” Sharpe said, showering some light on the QB’s earnings.
“I would think long and very hard. And I will go to multiple doctors, not just one, not just two. Skip I’m gonna go to three more five doctors and see what they say.”
“Are they saying something very similar? Because if I got through two or three docs and they say, if you were, my son, I would advise you to step away. Well, that’s all I need to know,” he added to his explanation.
