Sills, a neurosurgeon, added that there is no"detailed formula" that can predict the future risk of concussions for Tagovailoa or anyone else. Meanwhile, NFL players suffered 44 reported concussions this preseason, including practices and games. That represented a 25% drop from the same timeframe in 2023 and the lowest total since the league began collecting such data in 2015. For context, there were 91 reported preseason concussions in 2017.
