Dolphins to keep QB Tua Tua Tagovailoa in the starting lineup for 2023
While the Miami Dolphins are gearing up for their first postseason game in over five years, they’re doing so without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who remains in concussion protocol.
With Sunday potentially being Miami’s last game of the season, there’s already been talk about directions that the team could go in 2023, the second under head coach Mike McDaniel.
However, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, For his fourth season, the Dolphins will likely keep Tagovailoa the Dolphins’ starter.
He went on to speak on the team’s view of the quarterback in the new system.
“But regardless of what happens in Sunday’s wild-card round game in Buffalo or throughout Miami’s postseason, the Dolphins have been pleased with Tagovailoa’s development this season under first year coach Mike McDaniel, according to sources,” Schefter wrote. “Medical professionals also are confident that Tagovailoa should be able to resume his NFL career next season, if not sooner, sources said.”
The Dolphins will need to decide whether or no to give the former first round pick a fifth year option. This would allow him to remain under team control through 2024.
The impressive heights that he reached as a healthy man in 2022 might make it worth the gamble.
