There is still information that he&#8217;s seeking this week. As far as timelines go, I know he&#8217;s not playing this week, and I do expect to see him playing football in 2024, but where that is exactly, we&#8217;ll let the process continue since we still have time before you even could entertain anything. We&#8217;ll make sure that he&#8217;s diligent this week and assess after that.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"qrhKDE\">McDaniel continued:<\/p>\n<p id=\"xry1L4\"><em>&#8220;I think the biggest thing I&#8217;ve learned is for me as a head coach, it&#8217;s absolutely imperative that I control the controllable&#8230;the next-man up mentality&#8230;it is exciting that I do think he&#8217;ll play football this year \u2013 I never went down that rabbit hole of rather he would or wouldn&#8217;t, just because I&#8217;ve learned through circumstance how that&#8217;s the wrong question to be asking.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"25dASA\"><em>The right questions are completely 100% toward the human being and the player as a result.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"CEneSz\">McDaniel may say he never went down the rabbit hole, but we all know how vital Tua Tagovailoa is to the Dolphins. When Tagovailoa is in the lineup, Miami is 20-12 over the last three seasons under head coach McDaniel.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PDJyAT\">Not to mention, Tua led the NFL in passing a year ago, and one glance at Miami&#8217;s anemic offense early on and you&#8217;d be a fool to think the Dolphins aren&#8217;t patiently counting down the days till their high-priced QB is back can return.<\/p>\n<p id=\"vvT749\">We know Jaylen Waddle is. Here\u2019s what the Penguin had to say about his former Alabama teammate and BFF 4 Life:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"TbavOB\"><em>\u201cTua is a warrior, he\u2019s a fighter. We already know what kind of player he is; we don\u2019t have to speak on that, but he\u2019s an amazing leader. He\u2019s been here for a while \u2013 this is his home; this is his team. Obviously, this organization has committed a lot to Tua. We all have committed a lot to Tua \u2013 and not just Tua, but to one another. Obviously, that\u2019ll be an encouraging thing for not us, but Tua \u2013 I know how much that could mean to him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"5kIH6C\">At 2-3, it may feel like the season is over. But if Miami can keep their heads afloat this Sunday vs. the Colts, there&#8217;s a good chance the Dolphins could see Tagovailoa back the following week. And at 3-3, with lots of football to be played, who better than Miami?<\/p>\n<p id=\"jCQHxt\">NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0are back after a much-needed BYE week, and with head coach Mike McDaniel meeting with reporters for the first time in nearly a week, we all&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":12697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
