Dr. Jamshid Ghajar, former chief of Neurosurgery at Jamaica Hospital-Cornell Trauma Center, stated, "I don't think so. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter the past history... if they are back to normal, there is no reason to say they have had this many concussions before and [you need to be forced to sit out]." This perspective challenges conventional beliefs about the necessity of extended rest following concussions, especially for players like Tua Tagovailoa.
Evan Packer, managing partner of the Brain and Spine Center of South Florida, emphasized a different viewpoint, noting that "the length of time" after future concussions for Tagovailoa "would be greater and greater." This raises concerns about the cumulative effects of multiple concussions and the potential implications for his long-term health.
