Tua “feels fine” 11 days removed from his concussion in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, according to Adam Schefter. Tagovailoa’s health is critical to the Dolphins’ future, obviously.
In games Tagovailoa starts and finishes, the Dolphins under Mike McDaniel are 20-11. In games, the quarterback misses or leaves early, they’re just 1-7.
The Dolphins’ 1-2 start also marks the first time under McDaniel (since 2022) the team is under .500. Miami is also running out of quarterbacks. Backup quarterback Skylar Thompson (13 of 19 for 107 yards) left in the third quarter with a chest injury, which led to journeyman backup Tim Boyle entering the game.
