From what I have heard that basically means it has been determined that the player is subject to no greater danger than any other player playing the same position.

The player is more aware of any risk and is in a better position than any of us to weigh any risk. Playing in the NFL is risky for every player. That's one major reason why they get paid as much as they do. Let's not forget that these players have committed their entire lives to the privilege of playing in the league.
Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared many, many times. I would say given his history, another concussion would put him in greater danger than the next guy. Obviously it's a case by case issue but having multiple concussions are never a good thing... especially in a shorter amount of time.
