The Miami Dolphins aim to have an outstanding 2025 NFL season. Ahead of their long-awaited debut, Tua Tagovailoa has now received a key update on Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, his two primary weapons in a highly talented offense.

In recent years, head coach Mike McDaniel has built a very solid roster for the Dolphins. It all started with the arrival of Tua Tagovailoa, a quarterback the team had long been waiting for.

However, the team knew Tagovailoa needed to be surrounded by elite players. For that reason, they built a strong receivers room, primarily led by Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Tua is now fully healthy and ready to start the 2025 NFL season. However, there has been some concern regarding his two top weapons: Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Earlier this offseason, Tyreek Hill suffered an oblique injury. More recently, Jaylen Waddle went down during a joint practice with the Bears, raising questions about his availability for Week 1.
