u/alex •
Miami Dolphins expect Tua Tagovailoa to return this season after being on injured reserve due to a concussion, but the exact timeline remains unknown.
Why it matters: Tagovailoa's return could have a significant impact on the Dolphins' performance and playoff aspirations.
What's new: Coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism about Tagovailoa playing again this season, but did not commit to a specific date for his return.
Yes, but: Tagovailoa has a history of concussions, raising concerns about his long-term health and durability.
What to watch: The Dolphins' quarterback situation will continue to be a focal point until Tagovailoa returns, with Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley filling in during his absence.
- Huntley is currently the starter and will maintain that role until Tagovailoa is back.
What's next: Tagovailoa will be eligible to return in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, but the Dolphins will prioritize his well-being before making any decisions.
The bottom line: While the Dolphins are hopeful for Tagovailoa's return, they will prioritize his long-term health over immediate results, ensuring his future on and off the field.
