Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa recently said that he’s “100 percent ready” to return to the field.
It sounds like the youngster isn’t going to let anything get in the way of his return.
"I feel good," Tua Tagovailoa said. "I'm just happy to be out there with the team."

Tagovailoa is on track to play in Week 6, and that’s good news for the Dolphins. The team is in desperate need of a win, and Miami hasn’t been able to get the job done since the 23-year-old went on the shelf.
Tagovailoa’s 2021 season was off to a rocky start before he got injured. Moreover, a lot of folks were unimpressed by his rookie campaign.
For those reasons, the former first-round pick is likely highly motivated to prove the doubters wrong this season. Even if Miami struggles to get back into the playoff race, Tagovailoa has a lot to play for.
The Dolphins are 1-4 on the season and will look to earn their second victory of the year this weekend.
