Tua Tagovailoa remains on injured reserve, but signs still point to him being available later in the 2024 season. Miami’s franchise quarterback has been with the team while recovering from his latest concussion, while the Dolphins do not appear to be seeking out further additions under center. 
Skylar Thompson served as the starting quarterback in Week 3, a game in which the Dolphins were beaten handily by the Seahawks. Tagovailoa traveled with the team for that cross-country contest, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero noted on a Rich Eisen Show appearance Tagovailoa has received clearance to perform all regular activities short of playing (video link). That is an positive sign of his progress while the 26-year-old attempts to return to action.
Miami quickly made a move in the wake of Tagovailoa’s Week 2 concussion, signing Tyler Huntley off the Ravens’ practice squad. The former UDFA eyed a Dolphins agreement once Tagovailoa went down, and he could get the nod for Week 4 as Thompson deals with a rib injury. Huntley, Thompson and Tim Boyle represent Miami’s options as things stand, and Pelissero confirms no contact has been made with the Broncos or Steelers to gauge the availability of Zach Wilson or Russell Wilson.
With the Dolphins remaining confident in their incumbent signal-callers for the time being, attention will remain focused on Tagovailoa’s recovery timeline. Last year’s passing leader cannot be activated until at least Week 8, and the team’s decision to move him to IR is a sign of the cautious approach being taken with him. If Tagovailoa manages to avoid setbacks with respect to concussion symptoms over the coming weeks, he will be positioned to resume practicing ahead of a return to the playing field.
With Miami sitting at 1-2 on the year, it remains to be seen if the team will be in contention for a postseason berth by the time Tagovailoa is available to be activated. His recovery process seems to be in a good place for the time being, however, which is an encouraging development for team and player.
So nothing new in this post got it.
Tua is cleared for everything but playing. Miami will not add another quarterback, since Tua may return. If you hate reading, and you hate news or rumors, then I question why bother being on this site at all. There are plenty of other places where you can…I don’t know, ignore information.
Actually there is something new, it was confirmed that they have not reached out to potential trade partners in the steelers and broncos which means thompsons injury may not be more than a week or two or enough to pull a trigger to get another qb with experience or atleast that is what they are seeing now.
Thank you for the new information.
Hey, let’s be real… Even the Dolphins had to be 50/50 in resigning him… not because of talent. A terrific person and teammate… but would he see the conclusion of this contract with a heavy guarantee in one piece.. with a concussion history… he’s got a concussion and injury history back with ALABAMA…. 2022 was a mess… yes, 2023 was OK…but watching the KC playoff game last year gave me pause…. If the Dolphins didn’t sign Tua, what would they have done? …. But now that question had to be asked … 5 concussions including Alabama,,,, ask Brett Farve what he thinks, wait he probably won’t remember your question… As a FINS fan… I’m concerned….
Think Tua’s done. This extra time away from game n w/his families nudging he’ll make wise quality of life decision n retire. His bodies not built for nfl, not his fault, desire n competition are there, but he’s become concussion magnet. Aikman, Steve Young, wouldn’t be 1st time players have had to retire because of head trauma.
Dude keeps playing and he’ll end up the new poster child for CTE.
Seriously. Take the money and run kid. Life is too short.
I’d never want to tell someone they should walk away from what they love but I also never want to see anyone’s life changed by an on field tragedy
Nothing but best wishes for Tua
Why on earth would someone reach out to the Broncos fort Zack Wilson ? Who would ever even consider him …
have you seen tim boyle starting?
They should send him to spend a day with Brett Favre, if you haven’t already read about what kind of shape he’s in now, go look it up. He was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, and he needs help putting a jacket on now because he can’t get his arm in a sleeve.
