Dolphins star QB Tua Tagovailoa set to return vs. Cardinals
The Miami Dolphins have been headed into a downward spiral this season ever since star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went down with a concussion in the second game of the 2024 campaign. Miami’s offense hasn’t been the same without Tagovailoa, which has led to the team losing four of the six games they’ve played thus far.
Fortunately for the Dolphins, the return of Tagovailoa is imminent, as he has officially been cleared in concussion protocol and will be back on the field in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Marcel-Loius Jacques of ESPN.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday.
Obviously, the return of Tagovailoa is huge for the Dolphins, as there is a decent chance the offense can get back to form, resulting in the team potentially being able to salvage their season.

The only player on the team who is happier than anyone else about Tagovailoa’s return to the gridiron is superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill, via ESPN.
“It makes a lot of difference. Tua — him and Mike, they’ve got this real special connection,” wide receiver Tyreek Hill said. “He allows Tua to be Tua. Tua has a connection with all the guys, all of us spend a lot of time with Tua so the connection is there. Then when you bring that all on the field, it magnifies everything that we do — throws are on time, playcalling, the operation is faster. He just does a great job of commanding this offense.”
It’ll be interesting to see if the Dolphins can right the ship with Tagovailoa back in the fold.
