Joe Burrow Says He’s Experienced Memory Loss After Hard Hits In Games

Joe Burrow is speaking up about his own experiences with difficult hits to the head following Tua Tagovailoa‘s current injury … exposing he’s blacked out and entirely lost memory of parts of video games.

The Cincinnati Bengals super star’s remarks come as the subject of concussions has actually gone back to the spotlight this season … after the Dolphins enabled their star QB to play in a video game simply 4 days after he appeared to suffer a major head injury versus the Bills.

Burrow states, regrettably, these things will continue to take place due to the nature of the sport … and gamers understand what they’re registering for.

“You’re going to have head injuries,” Burrow stated on Colin Cowherd‘s podcast. “You’re going to tear your ACL. You’re going to break your arm. That’s the game that we play. That’s the life that we live.”

Burrow — who stated he’s had concussions where he didn’t keep in mind the 2nd half of a video game or a whole video game — stated there’s an intrinsic threat related to the sport that he accepts.

“I know I got a little dizzy at one point,” Burrow stated on the podcast. “But nothing long-lasting.”

Tua’s scenario has actually triggered major worry about the Dolphins’ handling of concussions … with numerous questioning why he was even on the field to get struck in the head once again on Thursday after suffering what looked like a possible head injury simply 4 days prior versus the Bills.

Tagovailoa’s scenario was so major, Dr. Bennet Omalu — the famous neurologist represented by star Will Smith in the 2015 motion picture “Concussion” — informed us Tua need to walk away from the NFL.

“If you love your life, if you love your family, you love your kids — if you have kids — it’s time to gallantly walk away,” Omalu stated. “Go find something else to do.”

“Sometimes money is not more valuable than human life. $20 billion is not worth more than your brain.”
