Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has cleared concussion protocol and will start this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals, HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. Miami has totaled just 40 points without Tagovailoa over the last four games. They averaged 27.9 points per game with Tua last year and are implied for 25 points against Arizona this week. Dolphins players are back to their early-season spots in our Week 8 Rankings.
Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle combined for 2 catches and 15 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Both guys garnered only 2 targets.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to practice next week, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. "As long as there are no setbacks, the hope is for Tagovailoa to play in the Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals," Russini adds. Tagovailoa has not had any lingering issues from his latest concussion, and Russini intimates that he's already cleared protocol. We'll track Tagovailoa's practice participation next week, but his return would obviously be excellent news for RB De'Von Achane, WR Tyreek Hill, and WR Jaylen Waddle. We'd take a crack at trading for those guys right now.
There's a "real possibility" that Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is back for the Week 8 game against the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That's when he's first eligible to come off IR after his latest concussion. Tagovailoa is reportedly symptom-free and has no plans to retire. RB De'Von Achane, WR Tyreek Hill, and WR Jaylen Waddle need Tua back to save their seasons. There's still no guarantee that Tagovailoa makes it back (or stays on the field if he does), but it's not a bad idea to make buy-low offers for Miami's skill guys right now.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that QB Tyler Huntley will start this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. The Fins managed just 12 points with Huntley at the controls of Monday night's loss to the Titans. Huntley finished 14-of-22 (64%) for 96 yards (4.4 YPA), 0 TDs, and 0 INTs -- although Dolphins receivers dropped two passes. Huntley also ran for 40 yards and Miami's only TD.
Dolphins HC Tyler Huntley will start Monday night's game vs. the Titans, HC Mike McDaniel said Saturday. Huntley joined the team less than two weeks ago, which tells you all you need to know about where Miami is at with their QB situation right now. Huntley made nine starts for the Ravens over the past three seasons and owns a career 64.6% completion rate and 5.7 yards per attempt.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been placed on Injured Reserve after the concussion that he suffered on Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa will miss at least the next four games and may miss more.
The Dolphins are signing QB Tyler Huntley off the Ravens' practice squad, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Huntley made nine starts for the Ravens over the last three seasons. He sports a 64.6% career completion rate but just 5.7 yards per attempt and a 2.3% TD rate. He's a plus athlete, though, with 509 rushing yards and three TDs on 4.4 yards per attempt.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has no plans to retire, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We passed along earlier that Tagovailoa is meeting with neurologists about his latest concussion, and it sounds like he'll be doing so to formulate a plan to get back on the field. Rapoport confirms, though, that there's currently no timeline for Tagovailoa's return. It took him over a month to clear the protocol the last time he suffered a concussion back in 2022. Expect Tua to miss multiple games with his latest head injury.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagaovailoa will meet with neurologists this week after sustaining another concussion in Thursday night's loss to the Bills, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "Tagovailoa will be seeking their input into the severity of his latest concussion and the cumulative effect of the ones he has suffered in the past to make the most informed decision about his future," Schefter writes. Tagovailoa contemplated retiring after suffering multiple concussions in 2022, so we have to believe that's on his mind now. At a minimum, he's likely looking at a multi-game absence. The Dolphins will turn to QB Skylar Thompson at least for Week 3. We'll see what they add to the position. Free-agent QB Ryan Tannehill seems like the easiest short-term fix.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel didn't even want to talk about a potential timetable for return for QB Tua Tagovailoa after his latest concussion. "The furthest thing from my mind is what is the timeline," McDaniel said after the loss to the Bills. "We just need to evaluate and just worry about my teammate, like the rest of the guys are. We will get more information tomorrow and take it day by day from there." Tagovailoa was able to walk off the field under his own power, has movement in all extremities, and was "in good spirits" afterward, McDaniel said.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill has agreed to a contract restructure paying him $90 million over the next three years with $65 million guaranteed. No new years were added to the contract, but Hill earns a total of $106.5 million guaranteed over the four-year period
The Dolphins and QB Tua Tagovailoa have agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension, according to NFL Network. Tagovailoa had been in the final year of his rookie deal but is now signed with Miami through the 2028 season. The extension lands Tagovailoa third league-wide in average annual salary, behind only QBs Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence.
The Dolphins and WR Jaylen Waddle agreed to a three-year, $84.75 million contract extension with $76 million guaranteed, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's a significantly bigger deal than Texans WR Nico Collins just got. Waddle is now one of the five highest-paid WRs in the league. The $76 million guaranteed is the third-largest total for a WR in NFL history, behind only A.J. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown, who also got new deals this offseason. Waddle is now signed with Miami through the 2028 season.
The Dolphins are set to sign WR Odell Beckham, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports that Beckham is getting a $3 million base salary with another $5 million available in incentives. The 31-year-old was a part-time player for the Ravens last year, catching just 35 balls across 14 regular season games. But Beckham still flashed big-play pop, averaging a career-high 16.1 yards per catch on a 13.9-yard average target depth. He ranked 27th among 93 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' receiving grades. Beckham will sit behind WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Miami and is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy play if those guys are healthy. But an injury to either could turn Beckham into a potential fantasy spot starter.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) is active for tonight's Wild Card game vs. the Chiefs. He's still just three weeks removed from his high-ankle sprain, so don't expect Waddle to be at 100% for this one. He was limited in practice all week.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Chiefs after a limited week of practices. HC Mike McDaniel said Thursday that he's "optimistic" Waddle will be available for this one. He'll be just three weeks removed from his high-ankle sprain, though, so don't expect Waddle to be at 100%.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) was limited in Tuesday's practice. He's expected back for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Chiefs, but he likely won't be at 100% after suffering a high-ankle sprain on December 24.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Monday that he's "optimistic" that RB Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) and WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) will be back for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Chiefs. Both guys missed the final two games of the regular season. We'll track their progress throughout the week. We have more concern about Waddle, who will be returning from a high-ankle sprain.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Bills. He’s expected back for next week’s Wild Card game. WR Cedrick Wilson stepped into a full-time role with Waddle out last week, catching two of four targets for 27 yards and a score.
