Where- Across the country, as teams are spread out all over

Why- Head injuries are one of the most common injuries that football players see, and there are questions regarding if the NFL is keeping their player’s safe

How- Tua Tagovailoa suffered a hit in a game that briefly put him on the sideline, where he was cleared to go back in the game. Then four days later, suffered another hit in a game that required him to be carted off the field, as there is a suspected brain injury.
