Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday there's "no concern at all" about the long-term health of Tagovailoa (hip), Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
The QB logged just 11 regular-season appearances in 2024, missing time due to a concussion he sustained in Week 2 and then a hip injury that forced him to sit out the final two games of the year. The 26-year-old had expressed optimism about his ability to play if the Dolphins had made the playoffs, but Tagovailoa will instead turn his attention toward returning to full health in time for OTAs. Grier offered optimism about Tagovailoa's ability to continue improving, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports, but he also noted that the quarterback's injury history and difficulty staying in the lineup had negatively impacted Miami's ability to attain playoff success, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Tagovailoa completed 291 of 399 pass attempts for 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2024, but his 2025 production could be impacted if disgruntled top wideout Tyreek Hill forces his way out of Miami.
