The Dolphins officially activated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from injured reserve Saturday.

The move was a formality after head coach Mike McDaniel announced Friday Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday against the Cardinals. He is still listed as questionable but is fully expected to play. The Dolphins hope Tagovailoa’s return will give them the spark they need on offense. Tim Boyle was released in a corresponding move.

Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared through concussion protocol.

He will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

We are so back. Tua has a great matchup, and can be considered as a low-end QB1 for managers who are looking to stream him in his first game back. Hill returns to WR1 consideration with the upside for a top-3 weekly finish, while Waddle managers can shake off the cobwebs and stick him in as a WR2.

This is fantastic news for the Dolphins offense (particularly Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle) in what should be a good matchup against the Cardinals defense. Tua can be considered a high end QB2 in his first week back.

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.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to practice this week and could play in Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Tagovailoa is eligible to return to practice this week following his stint on injured reserve. The Dolphins have struggled on offense without Tagovailoa. Tyler Huntley will start Sunday against the Colts. Tagovailoa reportedly has no lingering effects from the concussion he suffered in Week 2.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel confirms that QB Tua Tagovailoa is expected to play again in 2024.

As the post said, it's the first time the team has said Tagovailoa will be back this season. Tua is still on Injured Reserve, however, but eligible to resume practicing on Oct. 23. There has been talk about a Week 8 return but that remains to be seen. All reports over the last several weeks is Tua is feeling good and much improved. In Week 8, the Dolphins are hosting Cardinals in an early game, so hopefully by that point we have a better idea of Tua's timetable.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be on injured reserve for at least two more weeks and the process of getting back on the field will continue this week.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said at a Monday press conference that Tagovailoa will have “some expert consultation” about his concussion in the coming days. With the Dolphins on a bye this week, Tagovailoa will be eligible to practice with the team after their Week Seven game against the Colts. He will remain in the concussion protocol until he does get back on the field because practice work is one of the steps toward being cleared and McDaniel said there’s been no word from any doctors that would rule out a return at that point.

There's been talk Tua will be back for Week 8, but this consultation, the story said, will go a long way as far as determining whether or not that will come true. McDaniel said, “There’s been nothing negative thus far, but we’re still in the process. We don’t rush that process and we don’t try to do anything that negatively impacts that,” so that's certainly good news as far as Tua's overall health goes.

Plan is for Tyler Huntley to start again for Dolphins at QB Sunday vs. Patriots, per HC Mike McDaniel.

It wasn't good in Week 4 but the Dolphins don't really have any other option other than Boyle. No one on the Dolphin offense can really be trusted in fantasy lineups and it seemed like the Titans took away the run game daring Huntley to beat them, which didn't happen. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 6 and Tua is rumored to be back for Week 8, so those holding fantasy players on the Dolphins will need some patience over the next several weeks.

NFL beat reporter Adam Schefter believes Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa will be back this season.

Schefter reported Tua has been symptom free and is feeling better, and, to Schefter's knowledge, Tua hasn't been told he shouldn't come back. Schefter added Tua also wants to come back. At this point, Tagovailoa will need to miss at least two more game since he was placed on IR. Schefter added he'd be surprised if Tua didn't come back. One thing to consider is the Dolphins may need to stay afloat in the playoff race before putting him back on the field. The team sits at 1-3 so far and hasn't shown much life on offense since losing both Tua and Thompson.

The Dolphins are placing QB Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve in order to give him ample time to progress through the stages of concussion protocol and meet with outside neurologists.

We just reported a story where Tua hadn't been ruled out yet, and some around the league thought he had a chance to play in Week 8. As unrealistic as that seemed, the door seemed to be open. However, this obviously shuts that door, and is a more realistic, and safer, outcome for the QB. The earliest Tagovailoa could return is Week 8 against the Cardinals, but the Dolphins are committed to placing no timeline on him as he works through a deliberate process and eventual return to play, the post went on to say.
