Tua Tagovailoa Clears Concussion Protocol, Will Start for Dolphins vs. Cardinals

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is officially back in the starting lineup.

Head coach Mike McDaniel announced on Friday that Tagovailoa has been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol and will start against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

McDaniel previously announced on Monday that Tagovailoa was designated to return from injured reserve, but he still had to clear concussion protocol.

Tagovailoa had suffered a concussion in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills when he collided with safety Damar Hamlin. It was the third diagnosed concussion of the 26-year-old's career, the other two of which occurred during the 2022 season.
