Tua Tagovailoa is set to return to the field in Week 8, but there is no 100% accurate timeline, leaving room for discussion among talking heads. The Miami Dolphins have not confirmed when Tagovailoa will return to practice, but they have stated that he is progressing. Some media members believe he should be done for the year, but Mike Florio's opinion aligns with others, despite the negative Tua narrative.

Florio and Dan Patrick have been contrasting opinions on Tua's health. Florio believes Tua should sit out the year, while Patrick believes Tua has the right to destroy his health. He also supports Josh Allen 's return to a game despite a head injury, suggesting a contradictory view. Dolphins fans are enraged by Tua's return to football, a topic of debate even before his recent concussion, with some suggesting he should have retired after his first one.

In 2023, Tua led the league in several statistical categories, but the team didn't applaud him. They instead backed up claims of a repeat, now patting themselves on the back. Florio believes a concussion is a top three injury for quarterbacks. He believes the league has "ticked off the boxes" to get Allen back on the field. However, Tagovailoa will ultimately make the best decision for him, and the Dolphins will support his decision. He may return as early as Week 8.
