Tua Tagovailoa is back, but does that mean the Miami Dolphins will be back too?
After going 1-3 in four games with Tagovailoa on injured reserve, the Dolphins are hopeful that the starter’s Week 8 return will spark a turnaround for a team that entered the year with high hopes, but is now sitting 2-4.
For some experts, the return of Tagovailoa means raised expectations. Despite a 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the Dolphins actually climbed in a few power rankings after Week 7.
Here’s where experts currently rank the Dolphins:
