MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is taking a major step on Wednesday in his recovery through the NFL’s concussion protocol.
He is set to return to the practice field to begin throwing at team practice, according to coach Mike McDaniel.
Tagovailoa, who is recovering from a concussion sustained in the Sept. 29 loss at the Cincinnati Bengals, had not yet returned to any football-related activity when McDaniel last updated his progress on Monday. Taking that step means Tagovailoa has now reached Phase 3 of the concussion protocol’s five-step process.
