This marks his return to the field 45 days after his injury. Head Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Tagovailoa met with an independent doctor and was fully cleared. The Dolphins, currently holding a 2-4 record, are optimistic about his return. Additionally, wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are expected to play despite their respective injuries.
