    I really don't know. I do know he has been injured every year since HS...except last year. That's why I didn't want Him. He's a good player, but His body isn't made for it.

    You're making up a lot of facts. Nobody knows how this is going to end for Tua.
    Nobody knows how many concussions he has actually had in his life. Maybe it's 3, maybe it's 30.
    Nobody knows how concussions will affect someone, both short term and long term.
    This stuff isn't black and white.
    For every Mike Webster, there's hundreds if not thousands of athletes who have had concussions and lived a long, healthy life.

    It could indeed mean your death. But you are committed to it so go for it with all you got

    Tua is coming back. I believe he did a full practice. I wish him the best of luck as long as it doesn't hurt the Steelers.

    Tua will not be wearing a guarding cap because there is no scientific proof that guardian caps offer any more protection than his helmet.

    Seems like the NFL would have looked into this before requiring every team to use these during training camp and practice.


    And according to this Neuroscientist wearing a guarding cap would actually increase his chances of getting a concussion.

    What they should come out , and say is.. ....we really don't know that much about it, but we are trying. Instead of starting a bunch of false narratives, or half known stuff.

    He has already made enough money to live very well for the rest of his life. He has a contract with $167 million guaranteed now. So he's got some money in the bank. Retiring might not be a bad option for somebody who seems as injury prone and as he is
