The 2024 season is not over yet for the Miami Dolphins. As the AFC East team still has a chance to make the playoffs, they’ve now added a former weapon of Josh Allen to bolster Tua Tagovailoa’s offense.

This year has been one of the biggest disappointments for the Dolphins. Despite many analysts considering them potential contenders, their hopes quickly faded due to a series of injuries, with Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion being the most significant.

The quarterback missed four games this season due to the injury. During that stretch, the Dolphins lost three times, directly affecting their record and playoff aspirations.

Medical specialists cleared Tagovailoa to return, but his comeback hasn’t been smooth. The team has accumulated a disappointing 6-8 record thus far.

Despite their struggles, the Dolphins still have a slim chance of making the playoffs. To maximize their chances, the front office signed Isaiah McKenzie to provide additional support for Tua in the crucial final games.
