Tagovailoa is reportedly itching to return from his injury. It’s no surprise that he’s doing everything he can to get back on the field.
Tagovailoa hasn’t played since Week 2. He led the Dolphins to a victory over the New England Patriots in Week 1, but the team hasn’t won a game since.
The former first-round pick has a lot to prove this season, and staying healthy the rest of the way is going to have to be a priority for him if he wants to silence the naysayers.
The Dolphins are 1-4 on the year and are in danger of falling out of the playoff picture already.
