Doctors Say Tua NOT At Risk For More Concussions

[vcip]

Obviously Tua's health is the priority but with this ...whatever
Let me see him stay on the field

 

[Sticky Gloves]

I hope Tua is truthful with his recovery to himself and the doctors evaluating him along the way.

 

[TrogdorTheBurninator]

we were told that before his last concussion….

lol you thought that meant he was then immune from them all the sudden? lol wow

If you're an NFL player and you step out on a football field you are prone to get a concussion, more so than those of us who do not play in the NFL.

You may now call me Dr. Jones....

 

[Mr Fan]

I know this won't appease the numerous stunt doubles for Doctors on here because they have Google but the actual doctors say that Tua with sufficient risk isn't more prone to have another concussion. Yes, that was a run-on sentence but at least it's for a good reason.

"Dr. Joseph Maroon said just because a football player has suffered a concussion, it doesn't automatically place him at a greater risk of another.

Maroon is a neurological consultant for the Pittsburgh Steelers and a clinical professor at the University of Pittsburgh. He’s also a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, which on its website cites the University of Pittsburgh’s Brain Trauma Research Center in saying, “The risk of concussion in football is three to six times higher in players who have had a previous concussion.”


But there are many gray areas in the subject of concussions and for Maroon, this is one of them.

“My caveat: If the brain is not fully recovered, there’s a higher incidence,” he said.

That caveat is critical. The Dolphins’ season just ended, so Tagovailoa could go as long as September without being subjected to contact again.

“Given all offseason with no more contact, the odds are very, very positive that he would be returning next year,” Maroon said, adding he would not have any added concern for Tagovailoa’s well-being."

Total cow fecal matter.

Research shows that someone who has already received one concussion is 1-2 times more likely to receive a second one. If that individual has had two concussions, “a third is 2-4 times more likely, and if they’ve had three concussions, then they are 3-9 times more likely to receive their fourth concussion.”

Second Impact Syndrome: the Dangerous Effect of Multiple Concussions

With fall sports gearing up, some athletes are bound to suffer concussions. In 2010, about 2.5 million emergency department visits, hospitalizations or deaths were associated with concussions. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a concussion is “a type of traumatic brain...

You’re trusting an article from an orthopedic over a neurologist

 

[josephreese]

We'll see how much faith the FO has in this line of thinking. Healthy starting QBs from the 2020 draft should be in line for extensions this off-season.

 

[phinschamp45]

The issue is the OL and its inability to protect the QB. The Dolphins were forced to play their 3rd string QB in the playoffs because they couldn’t protect Tua or Bridgewater.

Upgrade the OL and the QB is less likely to be injured.

The issue is the oline in a way but its also that tua cant take a hit like other qbs because he is as fragile as glass. Qbs are going to be sacked it doesnt matter if you have the best oline in football. The thing is can your qb absorbe a big hit? I wish the best but we need a replacement asap.

follow up question to the Dr.??

what is the time frame you are speaking of when you say ''proper rest''

 

[BrowardDolfan]

So the question is "are you more prone to get a concussion after you have received one?" The answer, who knows?

What every Dolfan should be concerned about is are certain people more likely to get concussions than others based on their physiology and how their bodies are constructed? I'd say yes, but would love to see the data.

No Mrs. Tua more than twice a week...
