Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Will practice, unlikely to play
Tagovailoa (concussion) will return to the practice field Wednesday and will resume throwing, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Tagovailoa reportedly remains "highly unlikely" to play Sunday against the Vikings, even though his presence on the field Wednesday suggests that he's made at least some progression through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The third-year quarterback hasn't practiced in any capacity since Sept. 29, though Pelissero relays that Tagovailoa has done rehab work and consulted with four independent specialists. With Teddy Bridgewater entering the concussion protocol after exiting early in the Week 5 loss to the Jets and Tagovailoa seemingly still not a candidate to immediately return to the lineup, Miami could turn to third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson to make his first career start Week 6. In any case, though, it's a positive sign to see Tagovailoa progressing in his recovery.
