Chris Olave placed on IR after 2nd concussion in 2024; out at least 4 weeks per Coach Rizzi

Look, I know Concussions and CTE are on the forefront but I tend to lean towards the Tua thinking on this. My life is more about providing for my children and children’s children than myself. I’d gladly die to save or advance them substantially. There is danger in everything we do. You think guys on an oil rig should retire because tomorrow they could lose their lives? I’m all for these players doing what they want. I’m pro-choice when it comes to that. In their position I’d play with a broken back for pure love and enjoyment plus the added benefit of generational wealth.

In this case, there’s no benefit to return for him. Hey not in a contract year so playing great or not playing gets him paid the same. Heal up and come back next year healthy. That’s the smart move for him and his future.
