The Miami Dolphins will not play Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday to wrap their pre-season schedule against the Bengals. In fact, many starters will not play. Is that a smart move for a team that is young and still relatively inexperienced?
The case of Tagovailoa is interesting. He has a decent first preseason game and a much better outing in week two but sitting him or the final game, which will be followed by a two-week game break before the season begins seems odd.
