Tagovailoa has missed the past four games because of his latest concussion.
Head coach Mike McDaniel said before practice Friday that Tagovailoa has cleared concussion protocol after going through two practices this week without any issues.The final step for the Dolphins will be to move him to the 53-man roster, a move that should take place Saturday, at which time the team will make another move to make space for him.
The Dolphins have gone 1-3 in Tagovailoa's absence, defeating the New England Patriots but losing against the Seattle, Tennessee, Titans, and Indianapolis whileThis was the longest in-season absence for Tagovailoa, who missed three consecutive games in 2021 and then two in 2022. "Everything's the same," McDaniel said before practice Friday. "There's been no negative. Everything's been positive each and every day. And then, yeah, you'd be right in that I am focused on the Indianapolis Colts, who we play in 48 hours."
"So when you have a timeline that you do you have, like on that week you have to make a decision, you wait all the time you can, and then that decision's driven by medical experts and then, within conjunction of the communication of the whole team and obviously Tua, yeah, when medical experts in a timeline that's not ideal for anyone, say, the best thing would be with the information they had at the moment to do, I'm happy with," McDaniel said.
