The only reason I think differently from Tua vs the argument of everyone is getting concussions is how he looks when he gets them. Not a doctor but they look really scary.

[APR]

The most concerning thing is this was NOT a hard hit at all….

[JamesBrown-hsyz]

He also had the "back injury" in 2022 that was clearly a concussion but the Dolphins did not classify it properly.

[TimRHillard]

Tua should listen to his doctors. His doctors, not the team’s.

[Austin.Kilgore]

I think he should reach out to Andrew Luck and speak to him, could get some good insight

[Drunk_Decibel]

Hamlin goes from dead on the field to ending another man’s career. What an arc

[ivartheboneless]

8 concussions before age of 30 he should not plan another down.

[shawnmitcham]

One thing I notice about Tua and not as much on other players is that he tends to lock up or seize more when he gets hit like this. The other time he started running and just fell down. That is the most concerning thing for me for him. He seems more prone to more significant immediate side effects and possibly more long-term.

[MrUpscaleman]

Former EMT with a degree in Neuropsychology here.

Up to him if he plays or not but 3 major concussions puts you squarely in the danger zone for drooling on yourself at age 40.

Former Colts wide receiver Austin Collie called it quits at 3.

[Broncos]

Going into a fencing position once is bad but twice is beyond that.

[officialabsent]

If Tua DOESNT retire then he needs to wear the thickest Guardian Cap possible

[jay-r]

Tua seems like a great dude, and as someone who watches UFC on a regular basis, you do not see guys throw up gang signs after a heavy hit like that very often. Even when they’re getting flatlined by a headkick. It’s difficult, but man from an outside perspective it’s hard not to say that he shouldn’t be taking those hits anymore. Regardless of whether he’s a “football guy” or not.

[Hoodler]

"yes he has his family or his children or whatever, but as a football player..." that's the problem with how people view these injuries. Cmon man.

[mrrodriguezHLP]

I'm a big boxing and UFC fan. Guys who get knocked out badly more than once are never the same again. They are severely more likely to get knocked down again with less force than previously. It's like they have a shutdown button installed on their chin.

[Trains]

Yes as a Bengals fan and I watched the game last night he should retire if he is that prone to concussions

[podawe]

That wasn't even that big of a hit tbh. You're more prone to concussions when you've had a few. He should absolutely retire before his brain turns to mush

[areid]

It's not just the fact of him having concussions, it's the fact that EVERY TIME he gets 1 he postures, those are MAJOR damage to the brain. A "regular" concussion is bad enough but when your entire body seizes up that's wild

[trippydayday]

“He’s next concussion is death” dude said it like wtv lol 😂

[KJShinra]

That hit wasn’t even bad, that’s what makes it scary.. that’s a hit that happens dozens of times a football game

[papifuego]

Don’t want him to end up like Chris Benoit. The CTE effect is what I think most people are thinking of
