Tagovailoa (hip) began working out at the Dolphins' team facility Monday, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Now that the young quarterback is able to continue his injury recovery and training at Miami's facility, team doctors and trainers will be able to more accurately assess Tagovailoa's progress. According to his physical therapist, Kevin Wilk, Tagovailoa has been "doing miraculously well" in his rehab, to the point that he sometimes needs to be encouraged to slow things down. A timeline for when Dolphins players are able to take the field together remains unknown, but when that happens, Tagovailoa should be out there in some capacity, and at that point, a better sense of how close he is to being ready for game action will become more apparent. With veteran signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick also in the mix, there's no compelling reason to rush Tagovailoa, especially considering the uniqueness of this offseason. That said, as a top-five draft pick, the Alabama product is destined to eventually become the team's starter after he's deemed healthy and demonstrates his command of the offense.
