On September 29, Tua Tagovailoa had to ask for a substitution during his team's game, the Miami Dolphins, against the Buffalo Bills after the quarterback collided with a rival and suffered a hard blow to the head, leaving him concussed on the turf at Hard Rock Stadium.
This Monday, October 21, the player born in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, confirmed that he is ready to reappear with the Dolphins after missing four games, although the news that caught the most attention was what the QB said.
Tagovailoa clarified that he will not wear the Guardian Cap even though that would be the best way to protect his head.
"It's a personal lesson. I have to be smart, be more available for the team, my guys," said the quarterback, explaining that he will not use the protection that could prevent him from having more concussions like the one he suffered against the Bills.
Tagovailoa is expected to begin training on Wednesday and, if everything goes smoothly, he is expected to return to play against the Cardinals in Week 8 of the competition.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said neurologists and injury experts had advised him that the Guardian Cap would make sense for him to wear, but McDaniel said he would make sure Tagovailoa was "properly protected" when he returned to play.
It is known that the Miami team is not allowed to force Tagovailoa to wear the Guardian Cap, which has been authorized for use this season in the NFL.
Without their star player on the field, the Dolphins have only won one game and lost three, so his return is eagerly awaited to become a competitive team on offense again.
