Tua Tagovailoa was drafted by the Miami Dolphins as the biggest hope to win the Super Bowl after more than four decades. Although the young quarterback had a rough start with Brian Flores as head coach, Mike McDaniel changed everything when he arrived to Florida.
The former offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers took the job with absolute faith in Tua as the franchise leader of the future. That’s why he surrounded Tagovailoa with players such as Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to let him grow.
However, after suffering another concussion against the Buffalo Bills, no one knew for sure the future of the star player in the NFL. Now, following weeks of medical evaluations, a final decision has been made.
Is Tua Tagovailoa retiring?
Tua Tagovailoa doesn’t want to retire from football and head coach Mike McDaniel officially named him starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins for the game against the Arizona Cardinals.
“Tua cleared the protocol. After going through the process and having a practice where we were able to initiate some contact with him. Then he met with an independent and was fulle cleared and out of the protocol.”
