Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will accompany the team to Seattle for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, despite suffering a concussion just eight days prior. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Tagovailoa’s travel plans on Friday.
However, Tagovailoa’s presence on the trip doesn’t indicate an imminent return. The Dolphins placed him on injured reserve on Tuesday, ensuring he’ll miss at least four games.
Coach McDaniel has emphasized that there’s no set timeline for Tagovailoa’s recovery, prioritizing his health and safety above all. The team will continue to monitor his progress and follow NFL concussion protocols.

With Tagovailoa sidelined, backup quarterback Skylar Thompson will lead the Dolphins against the Seahawks on Sunday. McDaniel expressed confidence in Thompson’s abilities, and the team will rely on him to navigate the challenging matchup in Seattle.
