Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa 'showing swag' entering 2023 season

MIAMI -- Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will play his first regular season game in nine months when his Miami Dolphins face the Los Angeles Chargers in this Sunday, and while he admits there are some jitters involved with starting a new season, he doesn't believe it will take him long to shake them off.

Tagovailoa last played in a regular season game on Dec. 25, 2022, when he sustained his second diagnosed concussion of the season and was effectively shut down by the Dolphins. The fourth-year pro used a personalized jiu-jitsu, a breakfall training program this offseason to learn how to fall properly and he gained eight pounds of muscle.
