Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is set to make his return on Sunday after being sidelined for four games due to a concussion. Coach Mike McDaniel announced that Tagovailoa has been designated to return from IR and is expected to play on Sunday pending clearance from concussion protocols.
Although there were concerns about Tagovailoa’s health after a scary head injury in a game against the Bills on September 12, the 26-year-old quarterback has not displayed any concussion symptoms for weeks. The decision to keep him on IR was a precautionary measure to ensure he fully recovered before returning to play.
The Dolphins struggled in Tagovailoa’s absence, winning only one of the four games he missed. Backup quarterbacks Skylar Thompson, Tyler Huntley, and Tim Boyle all saw playing time during that stretch, with Huntley and Thompson sustaining injuries.
McDaniel is still evaluating who will serve as Tagovailoa’s backup on Sunday, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the team’s quarterback situation. The Dolphins, who had a strong offensive performance last season, are looking to improve their 2-4 record and make a push for the playoffs with Tagovailoa leading the charge.
Tagovailoa’s return is eagerly anticipated by fans and teammates alike as they look to turn their season around and make a playoff run under his leadership once again.
