After suffering his third official NFL concussion, Tua Tagovailoa has been issued a stern warning by the Miami Dolphins, raising concerns about his future with the team due to his recurring injuries.

The Miami Dolphins are clinging to their playoff lives as they head into Week 18. They'll need to defeat the New York Jets on the road to keep those slim chances of reaching the postseason going, and they'll likely have to do that without their starting quarterback.
