Dolphins quarterback Tagovailoa expected to return next weekend
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could return to action as soon as next weekend after recovering from his latest concussion.
Tagovailoa will reportedly start practising Wednesday with hopes of playing in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals if he doesn’t suffer any setbacks, according to multiple reports.
He reportedly hasn’t dealt with any further issues since sustaining a concussion in a Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 12.
Tagovailoa was symptom-free shortly after that concussion, and he has consulted with some of the doctors he visited after previous head injuries.
The fifth-year quarterback has endured four concussions in his career, including three since joining the NFL in 2020. He is eligible to come off injured reserve and is eligible to play on October 27 against the Cardinals.
He has been taking part in team meetings and standing on the sidelines for every game he has sat out.
The Dolphins have started Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley in Tagovailoa’s absence, with Huntley making his third straight start Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Tua Tagovailoa is back. The Miami quarterback is set to practice this week and the hope is he will start in week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, per sources.
