Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Just three incompletions in loss
Tua Tagovailoa completed 25 of 28 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills. He added two rushing attempts for three yards.Tagovailoa rarely pushed the ball downfield, instead keeping the offense on schedule by accurately dinking and dunking. He threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to De'Von Achane in the second quarter and a game-tying seven-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle with 1:38 left in the fourth, but Buffalo answered with a game-winning field goal in the final seconds. Tua's return from concussion protocol hasn't helped Miami get back in the win column, as the Miami Dolphins are 2-7 overall and 1-3 in games started by Tagovailoa heading into a Week 10 MNF road game against the Rams.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Throws for 234 in return
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) completed 28 of 38 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown while rushing three times for 13 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals. He fumbled three times but didn't lose a fumble.Tagovailoa showed no signs of early rust in his first action since Week 2, as he completed 11 of his first 12 passes to help the Miami Dolphins take a 10-0 lead. He cooled off for the rest of the first half before throwing a 12-yard touchdown pass to De'Von Achane in the third quarter, but Tagovailoa fumbled a snap out of the back of the end zone for a safety on the next possession to ignite an 18-7 Cardinals run to close out the game. Most importantly, Tagovailoa made it through unscathed after having been on IR since Week 2 against the Bills due to his latest concussion. Up next for Tagovailoa and the Dolphins is a Week 9 rematch in Buffalo.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Officially cleared for Week 8
The Miami Dolphins activated Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) from injured reserve Saturday and cleared his injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Though Tagovailoa was listed as questionable following Friday's practice, head coach Mike McDaniel had effectively confirmed that the star quarterback would start in his return from a four-game absence, per Louis-Jacques. The return of Tagovailoa should help reignite an offense that has the potential to be one of the most explosive and potent in the league but currently ranks last in the NFL with an average of 11.7 points per game.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Trending toward playing
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was activated off injured reserve Saturday ahead Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The quarterback is still listed as questionable, but he's expected to play.The Miami Dolphins didn't remove Tagovailoa's injury designation, but head coach Mike McDaniel already suggested Friday the Pro Bowl quarterback would play. The 26-year-old said he's been symptom-free since Sept. 13, so it's fair to assume the Dolphins offense will effectively return to one of most formidable in the league with Tagovailoa now back.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Listed as questionable, on track to play
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after practicing fully both Thursday and Friday and is in line to play, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Tagovailoa -- who has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol -- remains on injured reserve for the time being, but once he's officially activated by the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, it's possible that his current questionable designation will be lifted. In any case, Tagovailoa is poised to return to action Sunday after a four-game absence, and at this stage, there's more uncertainty surrounding who is slated to back him up Sunday.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Questionable for Sunday
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Tagovailoa suffered his fourth concussion in the last five years back on Thursday, Sept. 12, which forced some tough questions about his future in football. He eventually spent time on injured reserve, and while he reportedly was free of concussion symptoms as of Oct. 3, the Miami Dolphins didn't designate him for return from IR until this Wednesday, and he officially didn't clear the protocol for head injuries until Friday, per Louis-Jacques. Tagovailoa ended the week with back-to-back full practices, but in order to have a chance to play Sunday, the team will need to activate him before Saturday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline. With Tyler Huntley's (shoulder) placement on IR on Friday, the options to be Miami's backup QB this weekend are Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle or practice-squad member C.J. Beathard, assuming Tagovailoa starts, as expected.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Clears concussion protocol
Tua Tagovailoa has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is slated to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Tagovailoa, who hasn't played since suffering his most recent concussion Sept. 12, thus is slated to be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's contest, which positions him to get back into the starting lineup. His looming return should provide a major lift to the Miami Dolphins offense and boosts the fantasy prospects of the team's pass catchers. Meanwhile, with Tyler Huntley (shoulder) likely unavailable, it looks like either Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle or C.J. Beathard will be in line to back up Tagovailoa on Sunday.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Expected to clear protocol Friday
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is slated to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Tagovailoa, who remains on IR for the time being, turned in a full practice session Thursday, indicating that he's progressed to the fifth and final stage of the concussion protocol. The Miami Dolphins now expect Tagovailoa to gain clearance from an independent neurological consultant Friday, which will make the franchise quarterback eligible to be activated from IR and start Sunday's home matchup against the Cardinals. Top wideouts Tyreek Hill (foot) and Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps) were both limited in Thursday's practice, but if both they and Tagovailoa are able to suit up versus Arizona, it will represent a tremendous boost for Miami's offense.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Turns in full practice Thursday
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.On Wednesday, Tagovailoa returned to practice for the first time since suffering a concussion Sept. 12. He was eased back in as a limited participant to begin the week, but his ability to take every rep Thursday indicates another step forward in the recovery process as he looks to clear the five-step concussion protocol. With another full practice Friday, Tagovailoa will put himself in good position to start Sunday against the Cardinals, but he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before he exits the protocol and before Miami formally reinstates him from injured reserve.
