Tua Tagovailoa's health is a concern for Mina Kimes. There is a time and a place.
There is no timetable for Tagovailoa's return from concussion protocol.
After sustaining his second documented concussion of the season in the Dolphins' loss to the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was put into protocol. Teddy was forced to leave the game early after sustaining an injury to his right hand, but he was able to play in the second half.
McDaniel said he's preparing for either Thompson or Bridgewater to start at quarterback on Sunday against the Jets.
I have not thought aboutTagovailoa's playing status. He needs to get healthy each and every day. I can't factor him into any equation until we're ready to discuss that. At this point in the week, I'll be preparing for both Teddy and Skylar, and then proceed as the week progresses.
It's critical that Tua only worries about the day that he's currently in and nothing else, and that he has followed the advice of medical professionals, according to the man.
He told reporters that there isn't an established timetable for Tagovailoa's return, and he hasn't even begun to talk to the third-year quarterback.
He said he hadn't had a discussion with Tua about when he was playing. The picture was painted very different from his head coach to the player.
The most important thing that we do is follow a day-to- day process. Getting him better each and every day and making him healthy as a person is what that is. I don't have a time line.
When they spoke, Tagovailoa told him that football is not the most important thing in his life.
The quarterback injured his right pinkie finger while trying to make a tackle after throwing an incomplete pass. The Dolphins will know more once the swelling goes down, but he doesn't think the finger is broken. He will know by Wednesday who the starter will be for the game the Dolphins need to win to make the playoffs.
Adding short-term depth at the quarterback position is one of the things Miami is considering.
The Dolphins entered the month of December with an 8-3 record, but have lost their last five games. Their loss to New England on Sunday knocked them out of the playoffs, and they will need to beat the Jets and the Pats to make the playoffs for the first time in five years.
