Tua Tagovailoa says he discussed the idea of retiring from football after the season with family but he decided to keep playing. He says this is his health and life. He thinks this is what’s best for him and his family.

Tua talked to doctors that told him that he would have no more risk for concussions or CTE moving forward during the 2023 season. There are obviously more things to consider than just fantasy projections, but he is in an incredible spot with two of the most explosive playmakers in the NFL at his disposal.

McDaniel won't speculate when Tua Tagovailoa will play again.

The tweet went on to say McDaniel won't say if Tua will play even if he clears protocol. Beasley tweeted in the thread that McDaniel said the doctors have told him to worry about Tua's health one day at a time. "His health is the first, foremost and only priority." Of course, Tua has been sidelined with concussions twice before, but this is the second time he's remained in the game only to suffer symptoms the next day. Beasley went on to tweet the team knew something wasn't right on Monday. Bridgewater will get the start this week against the Patriots in a game the Dolphins need to win to keep playoff hopes alive.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is once again in the NFL’s concussion protocol. His status for this week’s game against the Patriots is now in doubt.

According to a separate report, head coach Mike McDaniel said he's not sure when Tua suffered a concussion, but he's in the protocol. During the game "nobody recognized anything with regard to" a hit. "It was something he met with doctors today and discussed some symptoms."
Teddy Bridgewater would presumably be the next man up if Tua is forced to miss.

The Dolphins and Bills are set to face off for the second time this season Saturday night, when several outlets are projecting heavy snow to fall on Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. It would mark Tua Tagovailoa's first time playing in the snow in his NFL career, but he said apart from spending time in the cold tub last week while the team practiced in Los Angeles, he hasn't put much thought into Saturday's playing conditions.

While a game in heavy snow will be fun to watch, those with fantasy stock in the game and owning Bills and Dolphins players may want to think about their lineups. It's always tough to remove players like Tua and Allen from your lineups in the playoffs, but ugly weather can sometimes mean a hit to the passing game, even though slippery conditions does favor the offense. It will be something to keep an eye on heading into the weekend. The game is scheduled to be played Saturday night.

As the Dolphins stay on the West Coast this week in preparation for their game against the Chargers, head coach Mike McDaniel said the club will monitor Tua Tagovailoa's ankle at practice.

“We will just be mindful of what he does,” McDaniel said during his Monday news conference. “Really, you’re looking at Wednesday, just making sure that we don’t do anything to have any setbacks, breaking the pocket and whatnot. But I’m very confident and don’t anticipate any sort of setback that would negate him playing in the upcoming football match.”

Tagovailoa missed Miami’s final offensive series in Sunday’s loss to the 49ers after the club announced he was dealing with an ankle injury. Tagovailoa reportedly could have come back into the game and the injury is not believed to be serious, the story said.

Tua Tagovailoa will go through practice this week as the starter, Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel confirms. Assuming all goes well this week, Tua is expected to start Sunday night vs. the Steelers. He had been out since suffering a concussion in Week 4 against the Bengals.

Clearly, a good sign that Tagovailoa will be practicing throughout the week, and opens the ceiling for an offense that had scored 83 points through the first three weeks of the season.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocols Saturday.

He will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Vikings but is expected to return next week against the Steelers. Skylar Thompson will start against Minnesota. Tua’s concussion made plenty of waves throughout the league after taking two hits over the course of four days between Weeks 3 and 4, particularly Week 4. Tua received four outside opinions and, along with team doctors, received unanimous clearance and all agreed there are no signs of long-term damage to his brain. Teddy Bridgewater was also cleared from protocols Saturday as well.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will return to the field and throw on Wednesday as part of his progression through concussion protocol, per sources.

Tagovailoa remains in concussion protocol as a result of the injury he suffered Sept. 29 and could be cleared from protocol before Sunday's game against the Vikings, though he's highly unlikely to play since he is just now returning to practice and meetings.

Sources say Tua has made great strides in recent days and is headed in the right direction toward an eventual return to play. Over the weekend, he began to increase his rehab work to include cardio and strength training, the story said. Bridgewater is also in concussion protocol and is a question mark for Week 6. Thompson would get the start if Bridgewater isn't cleared.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel says he’s not thinking about a timeline for Tua Tagovailoa’s return. He noted Tua is not ready to return to football activity yet, and he’s evaluated every 12-24 hours. He’s in the Dolphins team facility & doing well, but the main focus is getting him healthy.

It doesn't sound good for Tua's return in Week 6, while Bridgewater claimed he did not have a concussion before one of the spotters apparently had him removed for Week 5. He or Skylar Thompson would be a downgrade at quarterback in their upcoming home game against the Vikings.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will miss Miami’s Week 5 game against the Jets as he remains in concussion protocol, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday.

“I can comfortably say that he’s out for this game against the Jets,” McDaniel said. “It’s too early to give a definite timeline (on Tua's return).” Teddy Bridgewater will run things in the interim and had a decent job filling in for Tua after he went down on Thursday Night Football, completing 8-of-14 passes for 110 yards and an interception. Week 5's opponent, the Jets, are currently ranked 30th in Pass EPA allowed per play and have allowed the seventh-most points to opposing offenses, making Bridgewater a matchup-based option in 2QB leagues.
