Thankfully for Miami Dolphins fans and Tua Tagovailoa’s future — both personal and professional — the QB has returned to the field from an earlier concussion and remained healthy across the past couple of games.
Unfortunately, Miami has lost both contests. Now at 2-7 and on the brink of a lost season (an eighth defeat likely spells the end of any reasonable playoff hopes), some are suggesting it’s time to shelve Tagovailoa for the remainder of the year.
“Two tight losses have practically ended their season. Does it make sense to keep Tua Tagovailoa on the field when you’re out of contention?” Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report wrote on Friday, Nov. 8. “If the goal is a Super Bowl and that’s not realistic, maybe you have to consider letting him rest and pursue more treatment to prevent potential future injuries.”
