An assignment on the harmed reservoir might be one more option considering his trauma past history." Today, [it] is actually much more regarding obtaining a suitable step-by-step analysis and taking it eventually at a time," Dolphins train Mike McDaniel stated after the video game. "The farthest point from my thoughts is what is the timetable. Our experts simply need to evaluate and only bother with my teammate. ... Our company'll acquire additional info [Friday] and afterwards take it each day from there." Listed here are four essential questions following Tagovailoa's most up-to-date blast. What is actually Tagovailoa's trauma record? Tagovailoa was an applicant to be selected as the leading quarterback in the 2020 NFL draft in the course of his last time at Alabama but went through a hip disconnection and fracture of the back wall surface of his hip socket midway with the period. He was actually additionally diagnosed with a trauma as well as broken nostrils that year.

In 2022, he was actually identified along with pair of concussions as well as took a third hit to his head that essentially resulted in the NFL changing its own concussion method. He didn't miss a video game throughout the 2023 time, however, and gained a four-year, $212.1 million arrangement extension in July. What options carried out Tagovailoa look at after his 2022 season? Tagovailoa confessed to quickly thinking about retirement life after discussions along with his household. During the course of an interview with "The Dan Le Batard Series" final month, he made clear that it was actually primarily his mom who inquired him to reexamine his participating in job. Ultimately, he decided against it as well as spent the 2023 offseason expanding and also instruction in a jiujitsu breakfall system to learn how to drop without reaching his head on the ground. The instruction seemed to be to assist as he played in each of Miami's video games final time, including a playoff reduction to the Kansas Area Chiefs. This offseason, Tagovailoa told CBS Sports he shed 14 extra pounds in an effort to become more mobile phone. play0:37 Mike McDaniel: Tua in 'good sens' after concussionMike McDaniel says Tua Tagovailoa was actually consulting with allies in the closet area as well as is in good sens after enduring a trauma. If Tagovailoa would like to go back to the field, what hurdles will he need to crystal clear in blast method? McDaniel mentioned Tagovailoa will definitely undergo thorough testing and examination just before they decide just how to go ahead. The NFL's return-to-participation process is actually a five-step procedure that winds up in a group's medical professional accepting an independent neurological consultant that a gamer may properly participate in once again. The first step of the method is remainder and also rehabilitation "till his signs and symptoms and also neurologic examination" come back to "baseline condition."

Thompson started 3 video games as a novice in 2022, consisting of a playoff reduction when traveling at Buffalo. The only other quarterback on the Dolphins' roster is actually Tim Boyle, who is actually authorized to their practice squad.

McDaniel did not devote to the possibility of playing without Tagovailoa but showed the "utmost assurance" in Thompson. It's improbable Miami would right away produce yet another quarterback to begin again Thompson, yet it might add intensity if Tagovailoa is actually obliged to skip opportunity.
