Tua Tagovailoa's Concussion Sidelines Him, Dolphins Struggle Without Star QB

Tagovailoa's return is uncertain as Miami contends with offensive woes and quarterback injuries.

Tua Tagovailoa suffered his third documented concussion in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills and is on injured reserve for at least four games.
Backup quarterbacks Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle have struggled, leading to significant offensive decline and back-to-back losses for the Dolphins.
A local neurosurgeon suggests Tagovailoa is highly susceptible to future concussions and may face long-term health risks if he continues to play.
Tagovailoa's four-year, $212.1 million contract includes $167.1 million in guaranteed money, complicating the Dolphins' financial and strategic planning.
The Dolphins' early schedule is favorable, but uncertainty at quarterback poses a significant challenge to their playoff aspirations.
