The Miami Dolphins’ season has taken a significant hit after losing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to his third concussion in Thursday’s game against the Buffalo Bills ¹. This latest setback has sparked concerns about Tagovailoa’s future in the league, especially considering he suffered two concussions in the 2022 season, which led to doubts about his ability to withstand the physical demands of the NFL ¹. Despite bulking up and taking martial arts training, Tagovailoa’s concussion issues have resurfaced after slimming down for the 2024 season.
The team’s injury report shows that wide receiver Grant Dubose is officially ruled out for the Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a shoulder injury ¹. Running back Raheem Mostert and wide receiver Malik Washington are listed as doubtful, with Mostert nursing a chest injury and Washington recovering from a quadricep injury sustained in the preseason ¹. However, there’s positive news regarding offensive tackle Terron Armstead, who participated in limited practice on Thursday and Friday despite shoulder and knee injuries.
As the Dolphins prepare to face the Seahawks, they’ll rely on backup quarterback Skylar Thompson to lead the offense ¹. Coach Mike McDaniel has expressed confidence in Thompson, stating that he’s earned the opportunity to start ². With Tagovailoa sidelined, the team’s focus shifts to Thompson’s ability to navigate the challenging matchup against Seattle.
The Dolphins’ Week 3 game against the Seahawks kicks off on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET. Despite the setbacks, Miami is looking to bounce back from their loss to Buffalo and prove their resilience in the face of adversity. With Thompson at the helm, the team will aim to exploit Seattle’s weaknesses and secure a crucial win on the road ².
