Tua Tagovailoa is due back on the practice field this week.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that the team will begin the process of bringing Tagovailoa off of injured reserve. Tagovailoa has been on the list since suffering a concussion in Week Two and he will remain in the concussion protocol until he takes part in practices without feeling any symptoms during or after the workouts. If he does get cleared, he’ll be on track to play against the Cardinals.
McDaniel said the plan is for Tua to practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get through the practice symptom-free. “The clearing doesn’t come until after some of the activity. We’re obviously doing so in the hope of everything going well so that he can play Sunday, but that will be to be determined,” McDaniel said in the story. The story added, according to McDaniel, “medical experts have deemed it safe” for Tagovailoa to return to the field at this point and said Tagovailoa would have to answer whether he will wear a Guardian Cap upon his return to game action.
