When Mike McDaniel signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2022, the head coach knew Tua Tagovailoa was the key factor to reach the Super Bowl. Now, the future of the quarterback in the NFL is uncertain.
Tua suffered another concussion a few weeks ago during a game against the Buffalo Bills and, since that moment, thereâs been a lot of uncertainty about the possible final decision.
Tagovailoa is eligible to return after the game with the Indianapolis Colts and thatâs why McDaniel has been constantly asked by reporters about the current situation.
Is Tua Tagovailoa retiring?
According to many reports, Tua Tagovailoa wonât retire from football. In fact, just a few days ago, Nick Saban already confirmed that his former player at Alabama wants to come back.
Itâs important to remember that Tua is currently on injured reserve and, because of NFL regulations, he is not eligible to return until Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Before the upcoming matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, Mike McDaniel gave the latest update about Tagovailoaâs situation. The head coach sounded cautious when asked if Tua will return to practice next week.
âNothing has changed from Monday with Tua. The process will go as you have to allow days to progress for evaluation of where youâre at and have a proper assessment. So, I feel good about him. The experts and family, everybody thatâs been involved, has been very diligent. When the next step occurs, the next step occurs. Donât really what time is. The last protocol piece is based upon activity that he should be doing. Hopefully, heâll get some clarity on that, but, we feel good about where he is at for sure.â
