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.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has not yet been ruled out of the Week 3 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. During an appearance on 93.3 KJR Seahawks radio, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports said, "There are some around the league who think he may play in Seattle this weekend."

It would seem unrealistic to see Tua back on the field this quickly, but this report at least leaves the door open. He would need to pass protocol, and then beyond that there are obvious questions about rushing him back that soon given his history. This will be worth monitoring for the rest of the week. The Dolphins-Seahawks game is a later game on Sunday. We're sure to hear more about Tua's progress through protocol as the week goes on.

Not enough information yet to determine if Tua Tagovailoa is going on IR, according to McDaniel.

The post went on to say the decision has not been discussed with Tagovailoa. It may be a glimmer of good news as far as Tua's status goes, but owners should still be prepared to be without him just in case this ends up being long term. Thompson will likely be a popular pickup given the talent around him alone.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Dolphins will be signing quarterback Tyler Huntley from Baltimore’s practice squad.

With Thompson expected to start with Tua out, Huntley doesn't have experience in the offense as the now backup QB. The piece went on to say C.J. Beathard, who knows the Miami offense from his time in San Francisco, was on the short list. Others, like former Dolphins backup quarterback Mike White, were not, the story added. Huntley, of course, was Lamar Jackson's backup, even making the Pro Bowl. He was signed by Cleveland, but eventually cut and was back in Baltimore as the QB3 behind Josh Johnson.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion and was quickly ruled out during the second half of Thursday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Following his exit, Tagovailoa remained at Hard Rock Stadium in the locker room and did not leave for a hospital. Head coach Mike McDaniel, who spoke with Tagovailoa on the field and in the locker room, said his quarterback was "in good spirits."

Thompson is very likely to get the start in Week 3 with this being one of many recent concussions for Tagovailoa. He doesn't need to be started in fantasy leagues of any size.

The 65-yard touchdown pass that Dontayvion Wicks caught in stride on the third play of Saturday's preseason opener at the Cleveland Browns was reminiscent of the 17 deep balls that Jordan Love connected on last year.

Only two quarterbacks hit on more throws of 25 or more air yards last season: New Orleans' Derek Carr and Miami's Tua Tagovailoa with 19.

As perfect as that throw looked against the Browns on Saturday as it floated 27.7 yards in the air, according to NFL Next Gen Stats tracking, it's easy to forget that even with 17 deep-throw connections last season, Love's completion rate on those passes was no better than 15th among all quarterbacks.

Working to improve Love's 34.7% success rate on throws of 25-plus air-yards has been a focus in training camp, the story said. So even though it was a preseason game, it was Love's first deep attempt in live action - and it was a success. The story added last year Love struggled to hit his speed receivers on deep throws, many of which were under thrown. Love's fantasy value seems to be on the rise and he's surrounded by a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball. Success on deep throws will only help continue his climb. Love is currently ranked 10th on our QB list.

The 'Fins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension with $167.1 million guaranteed,.

Tua should be considered a fringe QB1 until Tyreek Hill hits an age cliff, which doesn't seem to be anytime soon. This locks the QB with Mike McDaniel, making him valuable in Dynasty as well.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is in the building for the start of Dolphins OTAs. The QB is slated to become the next quarterback to receive a big payday, but the sides are in negotiations. Tagovailoa said he was planning on attending the workouts.

Tua should be good to go for 2024, with one of the best receiving duos in the league. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle remain respective WR1 and WR2s in fantasy.

Limited in practice with left thumb and quad injuries, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa won't be held back from an AFC heavyweight clash on Sunday.

Tagovailoa will start in the Dolphins' Week 17 tilt against the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Friday.

The good news is, we've gotten the all-go for Tua, but the bad news is, he'll be without Jaylen Waddle in what could be a tough matchup. The QB will be hard to trust in typical leagues' Championship Game, but is still a great play in Superflex leagues.

The Dolphins named Mike White as their backup quarterback, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday, after a monthslong competition with Skylar Thompson.

On four occasions last season, the Dolphins were forced to turn to a backup quarterback after their starter was knocked out of a game. They signed White to a two-year, $8 million contract this offseason with $4.5 million guaranteed to operate as the primary backup to Tagovailoa and he competed with the 2022 seventh-round pick Thompson throughout the summer for the job. There was a point this summer where some who follow the team felt Thompson may pass White on the depth chart, but for now the team is going with White as the QB2.
