Tua Tagovailoa's first pass attempt in 237 days ended with the same result as his previous in-game attempt on Dec. 25, 2022 -- an interception.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback made his preseason debut Saturday against the Houston Texans, playing in a live game for the first time since his second concussion in three months ended his past season early. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, oddly enough, was excited to see Tagovailoa face adversity right away.
One of McDaniel's core tenets for his team is the belief that "adversity is opportunity," and Tagovailoa presented himself with an opportunity to bounce back after throwing that interception to Texans linebacker Denzel Perryman.
