Tua Tagovailoa missed another game for the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, given his spot on the injured reserve following yet another concussion.
Tua appeared to display a fencing response after a collision with Damar Hamlin that knocked him to the ground during the third quarter of Miami’s loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2.
There have been calls for the Fins quarterback to prioritize his health and retire, considering the regularity with which he gets concussed, with this latest one the third official one of his career. But ESPN’s Adam Schefter has suggested that he is only a few weeks away from a return.
Tua Tagovailoa Is Expected Back On The Field After His Four Games On The IR Are Up
Schefter, who discussed Tagovailoa’s ordeal on ‘Monday Night Countdown’ before the Dolphins played the Tennessee Titans last night, claimed the QB was symptom-free and nearing a return to the field.
“He has been meeting with neurologists, and I don’t believe that anybody’s told him anything right now to dissuade him from wanting to play,” the insider said.

“There is a feeling here that he is bound to come back. For all the talk there was about Tua Tagovailoa and how he should stop playing and retire, the fact of the matter is that when his four games are up on injured reserve that he’s going to be back in the Miami Dolphins’ lineup.
“There’s a real possibility that he’s going to be back that soon. At the very least, he seems intent on continuing his NFL career sooner rather than later.”
While he wasn’t in action for Miami during the loss that left them with a 1-3 record, Tua Tagovailoa was at Hard Rock Stadium on Monday night to cheer his teammates on.
