He appears to be treating his wounds, though, and taking precautions to avoid such injuries in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Given his problematic medical history, some physicians have questioned whether Tagovailoa should continue to play professional football.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tua Tagovailoa is a white belt at jiu-jitsu.
