Fifth-year option exercised
The Dolphins officially picked up Tagovailoa's fifth-year option Monday.
Analysis: Miami's decision to exercise Tagovailoa's fifth-year option, giving him a guaranteed $23.2 million salary for the 2024 season, is a sign of confidence in the young signal-caller. The 25-year-old excelled in coach Mike McDaniel's system with top receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle before concussions derailed his 2022 campaign, as he led the NFL in passer rating for much of the early part of the season. Tagovailoa has since cleared the concussion protocol, and as Mike Gavin of NBC New York…read more

Fifth-year option to be picked up
The Dolphins have informed Tagovailoa that they plan to pick up his fifth-year contract option, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.
Analysis: As a result, Tagovailoa is in line to be guaranteed $23.2 million for the 2024 season. By picking up his option, the Dolphins are essentially demonstrating their confidence that the No. 5 overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft can effectively helm the team's offense in 2023, and beyond. The 25-year-old is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he was hampered by concussion issues that limited him to 13 contests. Since the conclusion the regular season, however, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN relays…read more

Clears concussion protocol
Tagovailoa cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Wednesday, and the Dolphins are confident he'll be 100 percent for their upcoming offseason program and the 2023 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was diagnosed with two confirmed concussions during the 2022 regular season, and the second one -- which occurred against Green Bay on Christmas Day -- ultimately sidelined him for the remainder of the campaign. In early January, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Miami had been told by doctors that Tagovailoa's recent head injuries won't leave him prone to more concussions in the future, so the team feels confident the Alabama product can still be its franchise quarterback…read more

Won't participate in Pro Bowl Games
Tagovailoa remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and won't participate in next week's Pro Bowl Games, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.
Analysis: The report notes that Tagovailoa, who had been named a first-alternate Pro Bowler, hasn't experienced any setbacks, but the Dolphins are proceeding deliberately with the QB, with his long-term health in mind. Earlier this month, GM Chris Grier indicated that the franchise will approach the 2023 season with Tagovailoa as its starting signal-caller, based on the belief (via doctors the team has spoken to) that Tagovailoa's past concussions won't leave him more prone to head injuries going forward.

Expected back as starter in 2023
Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to return as the Dolphins' starting quarterback during the 2023 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa is already ruled out for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills as he continues to progress through the concussion protocol. Should Miami advance further in the playoffs, it appears that Tagovailoa could have a chance of gaining full medical clearance and retaking the field, but regardless of Sunday's outcome, the quarterback has now made a decision on his long-term playing future. The 24-year-old hasn't yet been cleared to resume football activities since suffering his second…read more

Won't play Sunday
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Tagovailoa (concussion) has yet to be cleared for football activities and won't play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: According to Furones, the Dolphins are preparing as though Skylar Thompson will make another start at quarterback in the postseason opener, while Teddy Bridgewater (finger/knee) is still working toward being available for Sunday at this stage but apparently isn't progressing from his dislocated finger as quickly as hoped. As for Tagovailoa, McDaniel told Furones that the signal-caller hasn't had any setbacks, but added that there are "compounding variables" that are being considered in…read more

Coach Mike McDaniel noted Monday that Tagovailoa (concussion) has not yet been cleared for football activity, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Louis-Jacques notes that the Dolphins are hoping to have more clarity on the QB's status Wednesday, while adding that Tagovailoa hasn't experienced any setbacks. As the team's playoff opener this coming weekend against the Bills approaches, Tagovailoa's availability remains uncertain, but McDaniel did relay Monday that he believes Teddy Bridgewater, who has been dealing with a finger injury as well as a knee issue, may have been in a position to have entered Sunday's game against the Jets if…read more

Ruled out for Week 18
Tagovailoa (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Head coach Mike McDaniel said that Skylar Thompson will draw his second start of the season this weekend as the Dolphins chase down a playoff berth, with Miami needing to beat the Jets and hope the Bills defeat the Patriots in order to punch its ticket to the postseason. Tagovailoa has yet to resume practicing, while Teddy Bridgewater (finger/knee) was limited in practice throughout the week and will be available only in a backup role Sunday if he's cleared to play.

Unlikely to play in Week 18
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he's not even thinking about Tagovailoa (concussion) starting Week 18, suggesting the quarterback is unlikely to suit up Sunday against the Jets, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: McDaniel added that he's preparing as if Skylar Thompson and Teddy Bridgewater (finger) will be his top options for the regular-season finale, and that he hasn't even talked with Tagovailoa about when the quarterback will be able to play again, per Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com. The coach's comments contradict a report Sunday from Fox's Jay Glazer, who said Tagovailoa plans to play again this season if the Dolphins make the playoffs. Either way, it appears Miami will be without its…read more

Possible for playoffs
Tagovailoa (concussion) plans to play again this season if the Dolphins make the playoffs, Fox's Jay Glazer reports.
Analysis: Obviously that decision isn't fully in Tagovailoa's hands, both from the standpoint of the Dolphins making the playoffs, and in terms of getting clearance from the concussion protocol. Glazer didn't directly state it, but the report also suggests that Tagovailoa won't play in Week 18 against the Jets.

Won't play Sunday
Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Friday that Tagovailoa (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com and David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel report.
Analysis: As a result, Teddy Bridgewater is slated to start at QB for the Dolphins on Sunday, with Tagovailoa still in the NFL's concussion protocol, according to Furones. Per Louis-Jacques, Tagovailoa's status beyond Week 17 has yet to be determined, with McDaniel having declined to put a timetable on the signal-caller's potential return.

Not in line to start Sunday
The Dolphins are preparing Teddy Bridgewater to start Sunday's game against the Patriots after Tagovailoa (concussion) was placed in the protocol for the second time this season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Mike McDaniel noted Wednesday that Tagovailoa is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis, while adding that there's no timetable for the quarterback's return to game action. With that in mind, expect Tagovailoa -- who missed two games due to a concussion earlier this season -- to be officially ruled out Friday for the Week 17 contest, with his status beyond this weekend unclear. Rookie Skylar Thompson is likely in line to serve as Bridgewater's backup this weekend.

Concussion confirmed
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Wednesday that Tagovailoa sustained a concussion during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was placed in the NFL's concussion protocol Monday after he reported symptoms of the brain injury following Sunday's loss. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, McDaniel said the Dolphins will approach this Sunday's road game against the Patriots with the expectation of Teddy Bridgewater starting. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that McDaniel declined to note whether the team will approach Tagovailoa's recovery with extra caution, given that he's now been evaluated for a…read more

Falls apart in second half
Tagovailoa completed 16 of 25 passes for 310 yards and a touchdown with three interceptions in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: It was a tale of two halves for Tagovailoa, who racked up 229 yards and his only TD before halftime but threw for only 81 yards and tossed all three of his picks after the break to squander a 20-13 lead. The third-year quarterback has been picked off in only four of his 13 starts this season, but he's tossed multiple INTs in three of those games, making him a volatile option in Week 17's road game against a Patriots team fighting for its playoff life.

Modest performance in close loss
Tagovailoa completed 17 of 30 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 32-29 loss to the Bills on Saturday night. He also rushed once for seven yards and committed a fumble recovered by Miami.
Analysis: Tagovailoa certainly was more efficient than in his disastrous Week 14 performance against the Chargers, but he still completed only 56.7 percent of his passes in a game that eventually saw the advent of snowy conditions. Tagovailoa's best quarter was the third, when he completed 67- and 20-yard scoring tosses to Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, respectively. Twelve of Tagovailoa's 17 completions went to the dynamic duo, but the fact Miami couldn't muster any touchdowns during the entirety of the…read more

Completes just 10 passes
Tagovailoa (ankle) completed 10 of 28 pass attempts for 145 yards and a touchdown while adding 28 yards on three rushing attempts in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Tagovailoa turned in his worst performance of the season against a Chargers secondary that was without star safety Derwin James (quadriceps). The 24-year-old completed just 36 percent of his passes one week after completing a season-low 55 percent against the 49ers. Tagovailoa was cleared of the minor ankle injury he suffered in Week 13, but perhaps his putrid performance indicates that he wasn't at full strength. On a positive note, the southpaw was able to reincorporate the rushing aspect of…read more

Cleared to play Sunday
Tagovailoa (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers after turning in a full practice Friday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was a limited participant at practices Wednesday and Thursday, but after logging every rep Friday, the quarterback cleared up any lingering concern about his ankle injury. He'll have his top two weapons at his disposal Sunday, as Tyreek Hill (illness) and Jaylen Waddle (fibula) also practiced fully Friday and have been cleared to play against Los Angeles.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Tagovailoa (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Tom Pelissero of NFL Network previously relayed that Tagovailoa -- who suffered an ankle injury late in the Dolphins' Week 13 loss to the 49ers -- could have returned to the contest and is expected to start this weekend against the Chargers. That said, the quarterback's activity in practice over the next few days is still worth tracking as Sunday's game approaches.

Expected to start next week
Tagovailoa (ankle) could have returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers and is expected to start next Sunday against the Chargers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was banged up when he fumbled on a sack during the closing minutes of Sunday's matchup and was replaced by Skylar Thompson for the Dolphins' final possession. Tagovailoa downplayed the severity of his injury during his postgame press conference but said that he'd continue to be assessed. He doesn't appear to be dealing with a significant injury and is unlikely to miss time.

Downplays severity of injury
Tagovailoa (ankle) said after Sunday's loss to the 49ers that he feels "as good as I can be coming off a game," Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was kept off the field for the Dolphins' final drive Sunday and was listed as questionable to return. He said during his postgame press conference that he'll have a few things assessed, but he didn't seem too concerned about his availability going forward. His status for next Sunday's game against the Chargers will likely come into focus based on his availability at practice this week.

Tagovailoa completed 18 of 33 pass attempts for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions prior to leaving Sunday's game, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for next Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Down both starting tackles Week 13
Tagovailoa may have to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the 49ers without the protection of his two top tackles, with Austin Jackson (ankle) listed as out and Terron Armstead (pectoral) listed as doubtful, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins will likely start Brandon Shell and Greg Little at left and right tackle, respectively, neither of whom boast the type of reliability desired against a dangerous 49ers pass rush headlined by Nick Bosa. Last week's matchup against the Texans saw Tagovailoa make an early exit not just because of Miami's convincing 30-0 around halftime, but because the young quarterback was sacked multiple times after Jackson and Armstead both departed with injuries.

Impressive in home win
Tagovailoa completed 22 of 36 passes for 299 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Tagovailoa helped the Dolphins to points in five of their six first-half possessions, leading to a 30-0 lead that eventually facilitated an early exit for the star quarterback. While he was on the field, Tagovailoa did an exemplary job of distributing the ball, hitting nine different pass catchers for completions overall, including reserve tight end Durham Smythe for his one touchdown pass. The 2020 first-round pick's three-game streak of multi-touchdown efforts was snapped, but he'll take the…read more

Three more TDs in win
Tagovailoa completed 25 of 32 passes for 284 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 39-17 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed once for no gain and recovered a fumble.
Analysis: Tagovailoa put together another impressive performance through the air, although in Sunday's case, he took a bit of the road less traveled for a lot of his production. No Dolphins pass catcher recorded more than Jaylen Waddle's 66 yards, and Tagovailoa connected with eight different targets overall. Tagovailoa did hit Tyreek Hill for one of his trio of scores, but his other two touchdown passes went to the unlikely duo of Trent Sherfield and Alec Ingold.

Continues surge in Week 9 win
Tagovailoa completed 21 of 30 passes for 302 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 35-32 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also netted no gain on five rushes and fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Tagovailoa authored his third 300-yard effort of the season, albeit barely, including his second straight such tally. The third-year signal-caller connected with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and new arrival Jeff Wilson from three, 18 and 10 yards out, respectively, for his three scoring tosses, and he distributed the ball effectively while hitting six different targets overall.

Stellar numbers in Week 8 win
Tagovailoa completed 29 of 36 passes for 382 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 19 yards on five rushes in the Dolphins' 31-27 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Tagovailoa opened the game hot and rarely let up, taking advantage of the highly porous Lions defense to help claw Miami back from an early 14-0 deficit. The third-year pro hit Jaylen Waddle with touchdown passes of five and 29 yards in the first and second quarters, respectively, and he capped off the scoring late in the third quarter with an 11-yard strike to Mike Gesicki. Meanwhile, although he didn't have any end-zone connections with Tyreek Hill, he targeted the perennial Pro Bowler a…read more

Healthy return to action
Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 261 yards and a touchdown while adding 15 yards on four carries in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Tagovailoa returned to the field after a two-game layoff due to multiple injuries, leading his team to victory in a nationally televised game in the process. The statistics weren't gaudy from a fantasy perspective, but managers should be pleased he made it through a full game after getting knocked out early the last time he returned from injury this season. With one of the best wide receiver duos at his disposal in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, Tagovailoa is an appealing fantasy option heading…read more

Removed from injury report
Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) isn't on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa practiced fully Wednesday and is expected to step back in as Miami's starting quarterback Sunday night against the Steelers, dropping Teddy Bridgewater back to the No. 2 spot and Skylar Thompson (thumb) to third. It's a favorable matchup on paper, though the Steelers' injury-riddled secondary looks to be getting healthier after a surprisingly good day from a group of mostly reserve defensive backs in a 20-18 win over Tampa Bay this past Sunday.

Prepping for Week 7 start
Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) is in line to prepare this week as the Dolphins' starting QB for Sunday night's game against the Steelers, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa, who hasn't suited up since Miami's loss to the Bengals on Sept. 29, thus is in line to return to the lineup after a two-game absence, barring any setbacks. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether he's listed as a full or limited practice participant, but Adam Schefter of ESPN previously indicated that Tagovailoa was cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol Saturday.

In line to start Week 7
Tagovailoa (ankle), who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Vikings but officially cleared the concussion protocol Saturday, will start Week 7 against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins may not formally appoint Tagovailoa to the starting role until after they conclude their three Week 7 practices, but in the absence of any setbacks, the quarterback's two-game absence will come to an end. Skylar Thompson is slated to make his first NFL start against the Vikings, while Teddy Bridgewater will serve as his backup after clearing the concussion protocol Saturday but having managed only one full practice this week.

Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle), who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Analysis: Miami decided early in the week that Tagovailoa will miss his second game in a row, and while the quarterback remains in the concussion protocol, his advancement to full participation in practice suggests he's on the doorstep of gaining full medical clearance. Assuming Tagovailoa maintains full practice activity during the upcoming week and receives the green light from an independent neurologist to return to the field, he could be on track to reclaim the Dolphins' starting quarterback duties…read more

Tagovailoa (concussion) will return to the practice field Wednesday and will resume throwing, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa reportedly remains "highly unlikely" to play Sunday against the Vikings, even though his presence on the field Wednesday suggests that he's made at least some progression through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

McDaniel also denied the possibility of Tagovailoa going on injured reserve today or tomorrow, but he said the team still is gathering information.

Analysis: McDaniel said it's too early to provide a definite timetable for Tagovailoa's return, but Teddy Bridgewater is in line for at least one start. Tagovailoa is in the Dolphins' practice facilities but still in the league's concussion protocol, which he'll need to clear fully before retaking the field can be discussed. Though it's relieving that MRI results on Tagovailoa's neck came back negative, it seems likely that Miami takes a cautious approach to his recovery, so the possibility of…read more

MRI results negative
Tagovailoa (concussion) has received 'clean' results on all medical examinations, including an MRI on his neck, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's at least avoided suffering any fractures in his neck or similar injuries. Coach Mike McDaniel has declined to offer an expected recovery timetable for the third-year quarterback, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, saying "it's all about Tua the person." Teddy Bridgewater would be in line to start Week 5 versus the Jets if Tagovailoa is unavailable, and it certainly seems likely that the Dolphins will proceed cautiously with his…read more

Timetable for return TBD
Coach Mike McDaniel relayed Friday that he has no timetable for when Tagovailoa, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, might be able to return to action, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: "I'm not even really thinking about timetables or anything regarding him as a player right now," McDaniel said of Tagovailoa, who was stretchered off the field during Thursday's game against the Bengals. "It's all about Tua the person." For now, the Dolphins are awaiting the results of an MRI that Tagovailoa underwent on his neck, but given what's transpired in the last two games the QB has played in, look for the team to proceed cautiously with him ahead of Miami's Week 5 contest against the…read more

Tagovailoa (concussion) traveled back with teammates after Thursday's loss to the Bengals and is scheduled for an MRI on his neck Friday, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa traveled back with the team while wearing a neck brace, but initial testing revealed that he hasn't suffered any broken bones. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that current indications about the quarterback are positive, while Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald confirmed that Tagovailoa now officially is in the league's concussion protocol and will continue to be monitored closely.

Transferred to hospital
Tagovailoa has been transferred to University of Cincinnati Medical Center after sustaining head and neck injuries Thursday against the Bengals, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. He is conscious and has movement in all of his extremities.
Analysis: Tagovailoa's head hit the ground on a sack in the second quarter and he required a stretcher to leave the field. He was slammed hard into the ground for a second consecutive game, and while Tagovailoa was able to return to last week's win over the Bills, the quarterback has already been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game. Teddy Bridgewater came in after Tagovailoa's injury, and Miami also has third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson dressed due to the uncertainty over Tagovailoa's…read more

Stretchered off against Bengals
Tagovailoa (back) was stretchered off the field in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa stayed down after being slammed into the ground on a sack by Josh Tupou. Miami's quarterback came into the game nursing back and ankle injuries, and he hit the ground hard with his back and helmet. Clarification on the nature and extent of Tua's injury will likely come after further testing, but he's unlikely to return to Thursday's game after completing eight of 14 passes for 110 yards and one interception. Teddy Bridgewater replaced Tagovailoa after the injury.

Tagovailoa (back/ankle) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Tagovailoa, who briefly left this past Sunday's win over the Bills, was listed as a limited practice participant on the Dolphins' Tuesday and Wednesday injury reports before being deemed questionable for Thursday's contest. In the absence of any in-game setbacks with either his back or ankle issues, Tagovailoa should be able to maintain fantasy utility Week 4 while helming a Miami passing attack that features dynamic wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (groin), who is in uniform versus…read more

Analysis: Tagovailoa is officially listed as questionable on Miami's injury report, but he's said he plans to play and things still appear to be trending in that direction. Having the third-year quarterback under center will be good news for the fantasy prospects of top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (groin), though the latter is also listed as questionable.

Deemed questionable, plans to play
Tagovailoa (back) said he plans to play in Thursday's game against Cincinnati, though he's officially listed as questionable on the Dolphins' final injury report, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa likely would have been listed as "probable" if the designation still existed. Still, fantasy managers should make sure he's active when the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff on Thursday. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) also is listed as questionable, and like Tagovailoa, seems to be on track to play.

Viewed as questionable for Thursday
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tagovailoa (back/ankle) would have been a limited participant if the team practiced Tuesday and is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Bengals, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: McDaniel added that he expects a decision on a starting quarterback to come Wednesday, noting that Tagovailoa's ability to play will be matter of pain tolerance and functionality, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. Per Jackson, McDaniel added that he expects "most, if not all" of the eight players listed on the estimated injury report Monday to play Thursday, which would include Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle (groin).

Head coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Monday that the quarterback is dealing with back and ankle soreness and was noncommittal about his status for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

Dealt with back issues in win
Tagovailoa, who completed 13 of 18 passes for 186 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and netted no gain on one rush in the Dolphins' 21-19 win over the Bills on Sunday, dealt with a back injury during the first half, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The third-year quarterback exited the game late in the first half with what was believed to be a head injury and was eventually cleared of a concussion. Tagovailoa was able to play the second half without interruption, but Rapoport notes the signal-caller's back was injured on a first-quarter sneak before locking up after the second-quarter sack that forced him from the contest.

Explodes for career-best effort
Tagovailoa completed 36 of 50 passes for 469 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 42-38 win over the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed once for one yard.
Analysis: After facing no shortage of adversity over his first two-plus seasons, Tagovailoa appeared to be on a mission to silence his ample pool of doubters in one half during a miraculous comeback Sunday. The 2020 first-round pick unsurprisingly focused heaviest on his explosive wideout duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to the tune of 22 completions, 361 yards and four of his touchdown passes, but he also connected with Mike Gesicki and River Cracraft for his two other scores.

Looks sharp in tuneup
Tagovailoa completed six of seven passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 48-10 preseason win over Philadelphia.
Analysis: Tagovailoa uncorked a deep pass on the first play of the game, connecting with Tyreek Hill for a 51-yard completion. He otherwise completed passes in the short and intermediate areas of the field and was sharp for the second consecutive exhibition game. Tagovailoa will head into the regular season with plenty of momentum, as he completed 12 of 15 passes for 179 yards in two preseason contests.

Sharp in preseason debut
Tagovailoa completed six of eight passes for 58 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Dolphins' 15-13 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.
Analysis: Tagovailoa led a pair of relatively short drives to open the game and was able to help put the Dolphins in position for a Jason Sanders 46-yard field goal at the conclusion of the latter one. The 2020 first-round pick connected with four different targets during his brief time on the field while playing without both Tyreek Hill (coach's decision) and Jaylen Waddle (coach's decision), and Saturday night's action may have been the extent of what he'll see this preseason in the interest of keeping…read more

On the other hand, Tagovailoa and WR Tyreek Hill aren't listed among the names not expected to play, suggesting they'll suit up and take some snaps together for the first time outside a practice setting.

Connects with Hill at practice
Tagovailoa completed a couple of deep passes to Dolphins' newcomer Tyreek Hill during Thursday's minicamp session, ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques reports.
Analysis: The QB's passes to Hill on Thursday went for 45 and 55 yards, and while we won't read too much into a pair of plays in mandatory minicamp, they did support the notion that Tagovailoa could progress as a downfield thrower in 2022. That's an area the signal-caller believes he can improve on in his third NFL campaign. With that in mind, Tagovailoa -- who indicated that he spent a majority of his offseason working on his foundation and improving his arm strength and mobility -- at this stage noted…read more

New Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has made it clear that Tagovailoa will be his starter Week 1, though he could certainly face pressure from Teddy Bridgewater if he struggles out of the gate.

Tagovailoa is positioned to lead a revamped Dolphins offense in the 2022 season, with Miami most recently having acquired six-time Pro Bowl wideout Tyreek Hill from the Chiefs on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins will surrender significant draft capital in exchange for Hill, giving up five picks headlined by 2022 first-round and second-round selections. Even so, the pairing of Hill with 2021 rookie standout Jaylen Waddle can't be overstated.

Quiet in Sunday's win
Tagovailoa completed 15 of 22 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown and gained 38 rushing yards on five carries in Sunday's 33-24 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Aside from a seven-yard TD strike to Jaylen Waddle in the first quarter, Tagovailoa didn't contribute much to the Dolphins' victory, instead allowing Duke Johnson and the defense to do most of the heavy lifting. The second-year QB failed to reach 200 passing yards in three of his last four games this season, wrapping up the campaign with a sharp 67.8 percent completion rate but far more pedestrian 17:10 TD:INT and 2,762 passing yards through 14 games, and Tua may not have done enough to…read more

Tagovailoa completed 18 of 38 passes for 205 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed twice for one yard and committed three fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Tagovailoa's mess of a final line tells the tale of how forgettable an afternoon it was for both him and the Dolphins offense as a whole. The second-year signal-caller was kept out of sync all afternoon by an aggressive Titans defense that sacked him four times and limited him to 5.4 yards per attempt alongside a 53.1 QB rating. Tagovailoa helped just one pass catcher, Mike Gesicki, get over the 50-yard mark, and he threw an interception for the third straight game as well. The Dolphins are…read more

When he did take a shot downfield in the second half, Tagovailoa was intercepted on an overthrow. In fairness, though, the signal-caller responded with an impressive 40-yard pass to extend his subsequent drive, followed by a long completion to Waddle on a flea flicker the next play.

Overcomes miscues to top Jets
Tagovailoa completed 16 of 27 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on seven rushing attempts.
Analysis: Tagovailoa got off to an awful start while adjusting to the absence of favorite target Jaylen Waddle (illness). He recovered his own fumble on the game's third play but was immediately tackled to create a three-and-out on Miami's opening drive, then threw an interception on his first pass of the game to lead off the following drive.

Guides Dolphins to victory
Tagovailoa completed 30 of his 41 pass attempts for 244 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Tagovailoa reached 40 pass attempts for the third time this season and for the first time since Week 7. He put up a disappointing yardage total by averaging only 6.0 yards per attempt despite being accurate with his passes. That was a product of largely working in short areas of the field, as he had only one completion of more than 20 yards.

Tagovailoa completed 27 of 31 passes for 230 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also netted no gain on four rushes and committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: The occasionally poor ball security was a blemish, but otherwise it was hard to find fault with Tagovailoa's performance in a surprisingly comfortable win for the Dolphins. The second-year signal-caller kept up his hot hand from Week 11, when he completed a sensational 81.8 percent of his passes against the Jets.

Analysis: Tagovailoa completed all six of his passes on the opening possession, which was eventually capped by a one-yard Jaylen Waddle rushing touchdown on a wildcat play. The next drive didn't go nearly as well, though, as Tua was intercepted and the Jets scored on their ensuing drive to tie it up.

Week 11 starter TBD
Coach Brian Flores reiterated Friday that Tagovailoa is viewed as the Dolphins' top QB, but declined to confirm the 2020 first-rounder as the team's Week 11 starter versus the Jets, citing the finger injury Tagovailoa is still dealing with, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Jacoby Brissett drew the start at QB in Thursday's 22-10 win over the Ravens because Flores believed Tagovailoa's fractured middle finger (on his throwing hand) was affecting some of his throws. However, when Brissett left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury, Tagovailoa was called upon and finished out the contest, even though Brissett was subsequently cleared to return.

Impressive in emergency duty
Tagovailoa (finger) entered Thursday night's 22-10 win over the Ravens for Jacoby Brissett (knee) with 11:46 remaining in the third quarter and completed eight of 13 passes for 158 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also netted zero yards and a touchdown on three rushes and committed a fumble that was recovered by the Dolphins.
Analysis: Tagovailoa slotted in as Brissett's emergency backup for the second straight game, and this time, he was called into duty for almost an entire half. The second-year signal-caller turned in an admirable effort in the victory and led scoring marches of 53 and 75 yards, the latter which he closed out with a one-yard touchdown run after the Ravens had closed to within five points. The fact Tagovailoa threw the ball well despite the fracture on the middle finger of his throwing hand is certainly…read more

Won't start Thursday night
Tagovailoa, who is dealing with a fracture in the middle finger of his left hand, is slated to back up Jacoby Brissett in Thursday night's game against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With Tagovailoa not quite ready to reclaim Miami's starting QB role as he continues to recover from his finger injury, Brissett will make his second consecutive start. Tagovailoa now will look to bounce back in time to get the nod when the Dolphins take on the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 21.

Likely game-day decision
Tagovailoa (finger) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Baltimore, Adam H. Beasley of Pro Football Network reports.
Analysis: Beasley suggests the Dolphins will make a game-day decision on their starting QB again, after tabbing Jacoby Brissett as the starter and Tagovailoa as the backup in the hours before Sunday's 17-9 win over the Texans. Head coach Brian Flores said Tagovailoa wouldn't have been healthy enough to start if the Dolphins had to play their Week 10 contest against the Ravens on Tuesday, but the team is holding out hope that its young quarterback might be ready a couple days later for the Thursday…read more

Will back up if he can't start
Tagovailoa (finger) will serve as the Dolphins' emergency backup quarterback Thursday against the Ravens if he's unable to start the game, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Similar to this past weekend's game against the Texans, Tagovailoa would be on hand as a backup if he doesn't make enough progress in the next couple of days to give it a go. Jacoby Brissett was serviceable in a spot start last week and would be in line to face Baltimore if Tagovailoa isn't cleared.

Limited at walkthrough
Tagovailoa (left finger) is listed as limited on the Dolphins' practice estimate Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The fact that Tagovailoa only has one injury next to his name versus the two he dealt with last week indicates he finally may be past the fractured ribs that sidelined him Weeks 3 through 5. He was unable to play Week 9 against the Texans due to a small fracture in the middle finger on his left hand though, despite being active on the gameday roster. The Dolphins held a walkthrough Monday, during which Tagovailoa was expected to resume throwing. Considering he wasn't a non-participant, he may…read more

To resume throwing Monday
Tagovailoa (finger/ribs) has not yet resumed throwing but is expected to do so Monday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was active for Sunday's game against the Texans but only in an emergency capacity, and he did not take the field. The second-year signal-caller is considered day-to-day in advance of Thursday's game against the Ravens, so it will be encouraging if he's indeed able to resume throwing. However, Jacoby Brissett remains ready if Tagovailoa isn't able to make enough progress to play Week 10.

Day-to-day in advance of TNF
Tagovailoa (left finger/ribs) is viewed as day-to-day by coach Brian Flores as Thursday night's game against the Ravens approaches, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Flores adds that Tagovailoa wanted to play Sunday, but the QB was too limited by his finger injury to start, leaving him to back up Jacoby Brissett in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans. In any case, while Tagovailoa hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's contest, he may be hard-pressed to bounce back in time for it, given the quick turnaround involved.

Active, but unlikely to play
Tagovailoa (finger/rib) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but he's not expected to start and will instead likely be available as an emergency backup, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was listed as questionable heading into the weekend with left middle finger and rib injuries, but the former issue was always viewed as the greater concern with regard to his status. Evidently, the small fracture of his finger didn't heal enough to allow Tagovailoa to start Week 9, so the Dolphins will turn the offense over to Jacoby Brissett.

Analysis: According to Schefter, Tagovailoa is tending to a small fracture in the middle finger of his throwing hand, which is expected to lead to Jacoby Brissett starting Sunday's contest. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Tagovailoa is now in line to work as Brissett's backup, but the Dolphins would presumably prefer to stay away from the second-year signal-caller outside of an emergency.

Questionable against Houston
Tagovailoa (finger/ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa has some swelling on a finger on his (left) throwing hand, but the team ultimately expects him to play through it. The finger is the bigger concern for Tua at this point compared to the fractured ribs that led to a stint on injured reserve earlier in the season. If Tagovailoa plays, he'll be without one of his top usual targets in DeVante Parker, who has been placed on IR as he recovers from shoulder and hamstring injuries.

Should play Sunday
Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Tagovailoa (ribs) is dealing with some swelling in a finger his left (throwing) hand. but the coach is optimistic the signal-caller will play Sunday versus the Texans, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa apparently suffered the finger injury on his throwing hand during last week's loss to the Bills, but it isn't expected to affect his availability for Week 9. The 23-year-old was able to practice as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday as he also continues to recover from the fractured ribs that sidelined him from Weeks 3 through 5. Tagovailoa may receive the questionable tag for Sunday, though he appears on track to play barring a setback.

Limited at first Week 9 practice
Tagovailoa was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to rib and left finger injuries, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The finger issue is a new concern for Tagovailoa, who previously was sidelined from Weeks 3 through 5 with fractured ribs before suiting up and starting in each of the Dolphins' subsequent three contests. The fact that Tagovailoa wasn't withheld from Wednesday's practice entirely suggests that he faces minimal risk of not being ready to go by Sunday, when the Dolphins host the Texans.

Lackluster showing in loss
Tagovailoa completed 21 of 39 passes for 205 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 26-11 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 10 yards and a touchdown, threw a two-point conversion pass and fumbled once without turning it over.
Analysis: Tagovailoa's numbers through the air tell the tale of a typical encounter with the Bills' suffocating secondary, which leads the league in multiple pass defense metrics. The second-year signal-caller did take advantage of the return of current top wideout DeVante Parker by targeting him on 11 occasions and completing eight passes for 85 yards on those attempts.

Starter moving forward
Coach David Flores said Friday that Tagovailoa will remain Miami's starting quarterback for the rest of the 2021 season, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Flores' endorsement of Tagovailoa should quell some of the rumors regarding Miami's pursuit of Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, though the Dolphins could certainly revisit the Watson talks with the Texans in the offseason if Tua struggles moving forward or gets hurt again. Tagovailoa has quietly thrown for an impressive 620 yards and six touchdowns in the last two games, but he was also intercepted three times in that stretch and the Dolphins lost both contests to fall to 1-6.

Tagovailoa completed 32 of 40 passes for 291 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 30-28 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 29 yards.
Analysis: With Deshaun Watson-related trade rumors swirling around him, Tagovailoa put on a brilliant second-half performance that was nearly good enough for Miami to pull out a thrilling comeback win. The Dolphins defense ultimately let him down, but Tagovailoa also had to shoulder some blame after short-circuiting a first-half drive in Falcons territory with his first interception and throwing his second pick at the Atlanta 30-yard line as well early in the fourth quarter.

Tagovailoa completed 33 of 47 pass attempts for 329 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for seven yards.
Analysis: Tagovailoa returned from a three-game absence and had the Dolphins' offense moving early in the game. He tallied 76 passing yards on the team's opening drive, which concluded with a six-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle. He led the team to a field goal on the subsequent possession, thanks to a few long completions to Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe. Though the production slowed a bit from there, Tagovailoa managed the third 300-yard passing performance of his career.

Tagovailoa completed 16 of his 27 pass attempts for 202 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's Week 1 victory over New England. He added four rushes for one yard and a touchdown.

Analysis: The second-year pro played well until the final play of his third drive, throwing an ugly interception into double coverage in the Chicago end zone on a 1st-and-10. It was Tagovailoa's final snap of the night, and he finished with only three points on three drives despite making some big plays to convert third downs (including a 50-yard catch-and-run for TE Mike Gesicki). The Dolphins could have a better group of pass catchers available for their second exhibition Aug. 21 against Atlanta after…read more

Looking sharp on deep throws
Tagovailoa has shown improvement with his downfield passing through the first week of training camp, but he still looks indecisive against blitzes, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Analysis: The lack of a downfield passing game was Miami's biggest weakness last season, particularly when Tagovailoa was under center. Out of 35 qualified quarterbacks, he placed 31st in yards per completion (9.8) and 25th in average depth of target (7.8), struggling to find big plays while directing an undermanned Dolphins offense (he also finished 22nd in sack rate - 6.5 percent). Tagovailoa will have more help for his second NFL season, particularly in the downfield passing game with WRs Will Fuller…read more

Reunites with Alabama speedster
Tagovailoa boasts immediate chemistry with former Alabama teammate Jaylen Waddle, whom the Dolphins selected sixth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN reports.
Analysis: As a rookie, Tagovailoa struggled to make the most of a receiving corps compromised of contested-catch specialists who don't provide much separation, and it's clear that Miami's priority this offseason has been to surround him with more explosive playmakers. By making Waddle the second wideout selected in April's draft, the Dolphins are allowing Tagovailoa the benefit of linking up with a playmaker whose skillset he's already familiar with, and who should be able to start out of the slot…read more

Ready for Year 2 leap?
Coach Brian Flores expects Tagovailoa to make a big jump in his second NFL season, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Flores was arguably side-stepping a question about Tagovailoa's status as the starting quarterback for 2021. It would be unusual to move on from a No. 5 overall pick after nine NFL starts, but that hasn't slowed down trade rumors involving Tagovailoa and Texans QB Deshaun Watson. Even if nothing materializes on that front, Miami might consider a QB with the No. 3 overall pick. Flores also mentioned that he'd like to retain Ryan Fitzpatrick, though the 38-year-old seemingly intends to sign…read more

Confirmed as 2021 starter
The Dolphins remain committed to Tagovailoa as the team's starting QB for the 2021 season, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Of course, that's hardly surprising given that the team selected Tagovailoa with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, the team has yet to determine whether veteran QB Ryan Fitzpatrick might be back with the team next year, but in any case, the franchise -- which holds the No. 3 and No. 18 overall picks in the first round of the 2021 draft -- will continue build around Tagovailoa in advance of next season.

Piles up yardage in blowout loss
Tagovailoa completed 35 of 58 passes for 361 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 56-26 loss to the Bills. He also rushed six times for 28 yards in the season finale.
Analysis: Tagovailoa was benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick last week but got the call under center with a postseason berth on the line after Fitzpatrick tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. While his final stat line looks respectable, much of Tua's yardage, as well as his 25-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Perry, came after the game was well out of hand due to a combination of effective Buffalo offense and mistakes from Tagovailoa. Fitzpatrick's status for the opening round of the postseason is in doubt,…read more

Loses top backup
Tagovailoa will be backed up by Jake Rudock against Buffalo on Sunday, with Ryan Fitzpatrick having tested positive for COVID-19, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa has been replaced by Fitzpatrick with the Dolphins trailing twice this season, most recently during last weekend's narrow win over the Raiders. With Fitzpatrick now destined for the reserve/COVID-19 list, though, the rookie signal-caller won't get the benefit of a relief option should he struggle against Buffalo. The Dolphins would guarantee a playoff berth with a win over the Bills, so pressure may be mounting for Tagovailoa to take convincing command of the offense.

Named Week 17 starter
Coach Brian Flores said after Saturday's win over the Raiders that Tagovailoa will start Week 17 against the Bills, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The rookie completed 17 of 22 pass attempts for 94 yards before being benched in the fourth quarter Saturday, but he'll remain the starter for the final game of the regular season despite Ryan Fitzpatrick delivering an incredible victory for the Dolphins. Flores didn't hesitate in naming Tagovailoa the starter for Week 17, but he could have a shorter leash for his young quarterback with Miami attempting to secure its place in the playoffs.

Benched in fourth quarter
Tagovailoa was benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter of Saturday night's 26-25 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Accuracy wasn't Tagovailoa's problem during Saturday's narrow win, as he completed 17 of 22 pass attempts, but his shallow depth of target led to inefficient completions. Tagovailoa had just 94 passing yards and a score when Fitzpatrick relieved him midway through the fourth quarter, leaving him with a miserable 4.3 yards per attempt.

Wills Dolphins to crucial victory
Tagovailoa completed 20 of 26 pass attempts for 145 yards and one interception during Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots. He also ran for two scores while carrying the ball three times for nine yards.
Analysis: Tagovailoa overcame a deeply depleted receiving corps to earn a divisional victory over the Patriots, knocking New England out of the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season while keeping Miami's postseason hopes alive. All of DeVante Parker (hamstring), Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) were ruled out for Sunday's game just prior to kickoff, and Myles Gaskin (illness) is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, forcing Tagovailoa to work with backups at every skill position.…read more

Comeback bid comes up short vs. KC
Tagovailoa completed 28 of 48 passes for 316 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Chiefs. He added 24 yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts.
Analysis: Tagovailoa tossed a seven-yard touchdown to Mike Gesicki in the first quarter but also threw his first career interception on a deep ball late in the first half to take a 14-10 deficit into the locker room. Tua added a second touchdown to Gesicki from 29 yards out before the tight end left with a shoulder injury, then scored his first career rushing touchdown from one yard out to make it a six-point game in the final minutes.

Ready to face Chiefs
Tagovailoa (left thumb) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Tagovailoa's status for Week 14 never seemed to be in real danger, and by practicing in full Friday the rookie signal-caller has affirmed his readiness. The Chiefs presume to be one of the toughest matchups of Tagovailoa's young career, and even if Miami's standout secondary can limit Patrick Mahomes in some capacity, the Alabama product may find himself tasked to keep pace in a shootout.

Tagovailoa (thumb) was limited in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa has regularly had his practice reps capped since injuring his throwing thumb, but there's currently no reason to fear that the rookie's Week 14 availability is in any danger. With a home matchup against the high-flying Chiefs offense on deck, it makes sense for the Dolphins to ensure that Tagovailoa is ready to for the possibility of handling large passing volume.

Tagovailoa (thumb) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins continue to manage Tagovailoa's reps due to an injury to his throwing thumb, but considering that the rookie quarterback started and played every snap in last weekend's win over the Bengals, there's not reason to worry about his Week 14 availability. He didn't look particularly hampered by the injury in the victory, as he managed a career-best 296 passing yards. Tagovailoa could have to air it out even more Sunday to keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the 11-1 Chiefs.

Tagovailoa (thumb) completed 26 of 39 passes for 296 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 19-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also rushed three times for three yards.
Analysis: The rookie was masterful in his return from a one-game absence, refraining from any turnovers and avoiding being sacked while connecting with eight different pass catchers on the afternoon. Tagovailoa bestowed the most attention on tight end Mike Gesicki, who also brought in the signal-caller's one touchdown pass of the day in the third quarter.

Analysis: Miami likely won't formally announce a starting quarterback until minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but Tagovailoa's involvement with the top unit in pregame drills is as sure of a sign as any that he'll be receiving the nod over Fitzpatrick, who filled in for the injured rookie in the Week 12 win over the Jets.

Over his first three NFL starts before he suffered the left thumb injury, Tagovailoa was a modest performer from a fantasy standpoint, averaging 166.6 passing yards, 1.6 touchdowns and 11.3 rushing yards per contest.

Analysis: The rookie quarterback injured the thumb on his throwing hand in practice back on Nov. 25 and sat out last weekend's win over the Jets, allowing Ryan Fitzpatrick to pick up a start. Per Rapoport, in anticipation of returning to the lineup, Tagovailoa took most of the Dolphins' first-team signal-caller reps at practice this week.

Could be game-time call Week 13
Dolphins head coach Brian Flores hinted Thursday that Tagovailoa's (thumb) status for this weekend's matchup with the Bengals could come down to a game-time decision, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports. "[Tagovailoa] was limited in practice [Wednesday]," Flores said. "We'll take it one day at a time. Both [Tagovailoa and Ryan Fitzpatrick] practiced. We'll see how he progresses throughout the week and make a decision on Sunday."
Analysis: Flores has maintained that Tagovailoa will remain the Dolphins' top quarterback if healthy, but the rookie is still hasn't completed recovered from the jammed thumb. During his limited workout Wednesday, Tagovailoa was still practicing with protective tape covering his left wrist and thumb, so he may need to prove he can throw accurately and with his usual velocity before the Dolphins clear him for game action.

Afterward, coach Brian Flores noted Tagovailoa was "very close" to being able to suit up, but in the end the Dolphins opted for caution with the rookie signal-caller.

Analysis: Tagovailoa injured his throwing hand during practice this week, limiting his reps and resulting in an initial questionable designation.

Tagovailoa completed 15 of 25 passes for 169 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 29-21 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He also netted minus-1 yard on six carries and recovered a fumble.
Analysis: The rookie put together another efficient and mistake-free performance, relying primarily on short passing and again benefiting from a stellar effort by his defense. Tagovailoa connected with Jakeem Grant and Durham Smythe for his pair of passing touchdowns, boosting him to a stellar 5:0 TD:INT over his first two starts.

Tagovailoa completed 12 of 22 passes for 93 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 28-17 win over the Rams on Sunday. He also netted zero yards on two rushes and lost a fumble.
Analysis: The heralded rookie didn't exactly light up the stat sheet in his first NFL start, but that was somewhat by design. Things didn't start off too well for the Alabama product, either, as he coughed up the ball on his second play from scrimmage, fumbling at his own 18-yard line on a sack by Aaron Donald.

Tagovailoa wasn't tasked with doing anything more than running the clock out, so it's difficult to extrapolate much from his first professional action, but the rookie did manage to seamlessly pick up the necessary first down by virtue of completions to Patrick Laird and Jakeem Grant.

It remains unclear if Tagovailoa will be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, or if Reid Sinnett will need to be promoted from the practice squad to serve as Ryan Fitzpatrick's backup.

In line for another absence
Tagovailoa remains unlikely to practice Thursday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: With Tagovailoa presumably in line to miss back-to-back practice sessions, his status for the Week 5 matchup against Seattle could ultimately end up in jeopardy due to a lack of reps. Should that end up being the case, Reid Sinnett would be the next man up from the practice squad.

Missing practice with illness
Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Tagovailoa wouldn't practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins are hopeful that a day off will be all Tagovailoa needs to move past the ailment, but he'll likely have to return to practice in some fashion Thursday or Friday to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. If the rookie isn't ready to fill his normal No. 2 role behind starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, Miami could promote Reid Sinnett from the practice squad to serve as its Week 4 backup.

Remaining in backup role
Tagovailoa will remain Miami's No. 2 quarterback heading into Week 2's divisional matchup against the Bills, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins didn't appear to consider putting Tagovailoa in the game during Sunday's season-opening loss to the Patriots, in which Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three picks and failed to move the offense, so it looks like the team is committed to allowing the rookie time to develop. However, if Fitzpatrick logs a similarly poor performance against Buffalo, Tagovailoa could begin building a case to enter the fray.

Ready for season opener
Tagovailoa (hip) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at New England, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: A full participant all week in preparation for his first NFL game, Tagovailoa has recovered from the hip injury that brought an early end to his final campaign at Alabama last November. He'll enter the season as the backup to starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, so it remains to be seen when Tagovailoa will take his first NFL snaps.

Hip issue downplayed
Tagovailoa (hip) remains healthy despite his presence on Wednesday's injury report, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Jackson's report notes that any player receiving any type of treatment is expected to be listed on the injury report, but still confirms that "Tua is fine." Tagovailoa still practiced in full during Wednesday's session and is fully expected to serve as the backup to Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1's showdown at New England. This appears to be nothing out of the ordinary for a player 10 months removed from a relatively major hip injury.

Listed on injury report
Tagovailoa (hip) is listed on Wednesday's injury report, though he was a full participant in practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Tagovailoa may still be working back to top form, as he's coming off serious hip injury that required surgery last November. Even so, the Dolphins' decision to begin the 2020 season with Tagovailoa and Ryan Fitzpatrick as the only quarterbacks on the active roster is an indication that the team believes the rookie is healthy enough to work as a backup in Sunday's season opener at New England. As he continues to put the hip injury further in the rear-view mirror and if the Dolphins fall out of…read more

Beginning career as backup
Tagovailoa is set to serve as Miami's No. 2 quarterback following the decision to cut Josh Rosen, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Coach Brian Flores said earlier this week that Tagovailoa's health has been a factor in determining Miami's backup position, but he noted Saturday that "from a health standpoint" he feels good about the 22-year-old's readiness. The move to cut Rosen, who started three games for the Dolphins in 2019, reinforces that optimism, though Flores also left the door open about potentially adding another quarterback off waivers. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start Sept. 13's season opener against the Patriots,…read more

Could be No. 3 QB
Coach Brian Flores said Tagovailoa's hip injury from last year will be a factor in the Dolphins' backup quarterback decision, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: This might be interpreted as a hint that Josh Rosen will open the season as the No. 2 quarterback, although Tagovailoa would be expected to usurp that role at some point. On the other hand, Flores did say the rookie has looked healthy throughout training camp, and it's highly likely the team will want to see him play in games at some point before the end of the season. Meanwhile, Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to start Week 1 against the Patriots.

Looking healthy in practice
Tagovailoa looked healthy Monday during the Dolphins' first padded practice of training camp, according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com.
Analysis: The report notes that Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the favorite to get the Week 1 start, but that's more about his experience and solid performance last season than anything to do with Tagovailoa's return from hip surgery. The No. 5 overall pick should see the field at some point this season, and his practice reps likely will be increased as the Dolphins progress through camp.

Cleared for practice
Tagovailoa (hip) passed a physical exam Wednesday and will practice without limitations once the Dolphins begin training camp, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The No. 5 overall pick enjoyed a smooth rehab process after undergoing surgery to address the hip dislocation he suffered Nov. 16 during his junior season at Alabama. The spring rumor mill suggested Tagovailoa might essentially redshirt his rookie year with the Dolphins, but it now seems he'll see the field at some point in 2020. It's less clear exactly when that will happen, with the cancellation of offseason programs and preseason games making it difficult for the rookie to unseat Ryan…read more

Working at team's facility
Tagovailoa (hip) began working out at the Dolphins' team facility Monday, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Now that the young quarterback is able to continue his injury recovery and training at Miami's facility, team doctors and trainers will be able to more accurately assess Tagovailoa's progress. According to his physical therapist, Kevin Wilk, Tagovailoa has been "doing miraculously well" in his rehab, to the point that he sometimes needs to be encouraged to slow things down. A timeline for when Dolphins players are able to take the field together remains unknown, but when that happens,…read more

Signs rookie deal
Tagovailoa signed his rookie contract with the Dolphins on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The No. 5 overall selection of the 2020 NFL Draft, Tagovailoa is now officially under contract in Miami for at least the next four years, with a fifth-year option built in. His deal is worth a guaranteed $30.3 million with a signing bonus of $19.6 million. The former Alabama star's outstanding accuracy and decision making, in addition to his tangible athleticism, will lend him difference-making upside under center when healthy. However, having undergone procedures on a dislocated hip and both…read more
