MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to play football again in 2024 after being diagnosed with his third concussion in two years earlier this season.
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Tagovailoa had “positive” meetings with neurologists during the Dolphins bye week, though he remains in concussion protocol and on injured reserve.
“I do expect him to see him playing football in 2024," McDaniel said for the first time since Tagovailoa's injury, "but where that is exactly, we’ll let the process continue."
Tagovailoa isn't eligible to return until Miami's game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, and McDaniel said the quarterback will continue consulting experts to determine when it will be safe for him to play.
