The Miami Dolphins' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is set to meet with neurologists this week amidst ongoing concussion protocol. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that the plan for his recovery has remained steady despite rumors of scheduling conflicts.
Tagovailoa missed his first game while on injured reserve and faces uncertainty about his return, especially with upcoming matchups against the Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, and Indianapolis Colts. His earliest return could be against the Arizona Cardinals on October 27, assuming he clears concussion protocol.
In addition to Tagovailoa, left tackle Terron Armstead and cornerback Kendall Fuller are also in concussion protocol, complicating the Dolphins' roster dynamics. Backup quarterback Skylar Thompson is dealing with a rib injury, leaving options uncertain for the Titans' game. Meanwhile, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. continues to work towards recovery from his physically unable to perform status.
