When will Tua Tagovailoa return to action for the Miami Dolphins after his injury? Head coach Mike McDaniel ventured a cautious prediction for the playmaker’s projected return.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel broke his silence and commented for the first time on the return plan of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. “I expect him to play football again in 2024,” predicted the 41-year-old. However, he could not say exactly when. Health is the priority.
The earliest possible return date is the game against the Arizona Cardinals on October 27 (from 6:00 pm on the live ticker). Until then, Tagovailoa will remain on the Injured Reserve List. He is definitely not an option for the Indianapolis game (on Sunday from 7:00 pm on the ran live ticker).
The Miami Dolphins suffered the loss of Tagovailoa
The quarterback suffered his latest and third concussion in a short period of two weeks in the current season in a collision with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. There was even talk of ending his career at the age of 26.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins sorely missed Tagovailoa’s athletic qualities. With twelve points per game, the franchise has one of the worst offenses in the league. Tyler Huntley is expected to take on Tua’s backup role again next season.
