Dianna Russini reports that the Dolphins are set to open the practice window for QB Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday, with plans to start him in Week 8 against the Cardinals.
Tagovailoa must miss one more game while on injured reserve and won’t be available in Week 7 against the Colts. Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel plans to have his starter back from his latest concussion against Arizona.
Tagovailoa, 26, was selected with the No. 5 overall pick out of Alabama in 2020 by the Dolphins. He signed a four-year, $30,275,438 rookie contract with a $19,578,501 signing bonus. He earned a base salary of $1,010,000 in the final year of his deal.
The Dolphins picked up Tagovailoa’s fifth-year option worth $23,171,000 for the 2024 season.
From there, the team re-signed him to a four-year deal worth up to $212 million this offseason that included $167 million guaranteed.
In 2024, Tagovailoa has appeared in two games for the Dolphins and completed 64.5 percent of his passes for 483 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
