Discussion about the long-term future of Tua Tagovailoa has broken out once again this week after the Dolphins quarterback entered the league’s concussion protocol for the second time this season. On Wednesday, coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Tagovailoa has a concussion and will likely miss this Sunday’s game against the Patriots.
Tagovailoa, 24, has been a topic of conversation throughout the football world this season as he’s sustained multiple head injuries in just the last few months. The latest news has prompted some pundits to call for the Dolphins to shut down the third-year quarterback for the year, or perhaps even longer.
Though Miami has officially designated the 2020 No. 5 pick as “day-to-day,” even Tagovailoa’s brother is unsure exactly when he’ll return to the field.
