Tua Tagovailoa concussion discussion (update: Tua to IR 9/17/2024)(Merged)

I never post but always lurk....I feel compelled this time to throw in my 2 cents even though it is not saints related.

It may have been stated already but I believe this to be a terrible situation of nerve damage. It could be in his back but I believe it is in his neck.

I was STUNNED all the commentators referring to his clenched hands as being in pain. That poor guy. I believe it wasn't just pain it was nerve related.

I had three discs in my neck replaced because of previous undetected trauma and when I had the fall that made it known, I couldn't for the life of me un clench my hands in whatever pose they were stuck in.

I am a drummer and my hands never did recover properly. I hope that guys ok yall

I should add that when he fell the week before which was perceived as a concussion, I had similar things happen to me. I would be getting out of the car and would suddenly fall. No pain but it was the discs actually touching the spinal chord and interfering with the bodies signals.
