Dolphins Anticipate Comeback Versus Cardinals as Tua Tagovailoa Returns to Practice After Injury Clearance

Monday, October 21st, 2024

Tua Tagovailoa, the Miami Dolphins quarterback, is set to rejoin practice sessions this week after being sidelined for four games due to a concussion.

In his absence, the team suffered three defeats and dropped two and a half games behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East standings.

After receiving medical clearance to return, Tagovailoa must participate in practice to fully complete the concussion protocol.

Over the last month, he focused on recuperation and worked with neurologists who have now given him the green light to play again.

The quarterback acknowledges the importance of better protecting himself during games and plans to adjust his playing style accordingly.

While Tagovailoa feels frustrated by the focus on his health, he understands the challenges posed by his concussion history.

With Tagovailoa out, the Dolphins offense struggled, posting the lowest points per game in the league and ranking 23rd in passing yards.

McDaniel stresses that Tagovailoa alone cannot fix all the team's issues, and the quarterback is aware of the inherent risks in playing football.
