Dolphins Rumors: Tua Tagovailoa to Resume Practicing, Eyes Week 8 Return from Injury

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to resume practice next week and could be ready to play as soon as next Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 26-year-old is still in concussion protocol and is following the NFL's return-to-play provisions.

With his extensive history of concussions, including two diagnoses in 2022, Tagovailoa's return to the NFL was once in question, but he is now fully focused on making his comeback.

Tagovailoa was seen in Pittsburgh visiting neurologists, while also consulting with previous doctors who have monitored him throughout his career. According to one source who commented on his future, "He's 100 percent playing," Schefter reported.

Since his Week 2 concussion against the Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa has stated that he feels fine and has not experienced some of the more severe side effects he had during previous concussions.

Tagovailoa will remain sidelined for the Dolphins on Sunday as they face the Indianapolis Colts on the road.
