MIAMI — Dolphins quarterback Tua TagovailoaIt is considered “daily”, heading into Thursday’s match against the Baltimore RavensCoach Brian Flores said so.
Tagovailoa was not present in Sunday’s victory against the Houston TexansAfter fracturing his throwing hand’s center finger the week before. He was forced to practice in restricted mode for the entire week before it was decided that Houston was his only option.

“[Tua]Flores stated Tuesday that “is unquestionably making advances.” “There is no denying that there is discomfort. The swelling is decreasing. It is growing. Although there has been some progress since last week, there are still limitations.”
Tagovailoa was unable to play in the highest 5 games of this season. Tagovailoa also missed three games while on injured reserve due to fractured ribs. As a rookie, he also missed one game due to a thumb injury.
Flores admitted that Tagovailoa had suffered some injures, but he said that the availability of Tagovailoa should also be considered when evaluating participants.
“Obviously, availability is crucial. Flores explained that there are many factors that go into this. It is not the only issue. Tua is aggressive in all aspects. He is sensible. He wants to be in the market. I feel he is getting higher.
“I think everyone realizes that it’s important to go to the market to acquire the right expertise and a desire to succeed. He’ll do it. He’ll overcome it, and he’ll be a benefit.”
Tagovailoa’s 1,004 yard passing average of 65.6% has been achieved in 5 games this season. He also scored seven touchdowns and had 5 interceptions. On 15 carries, he has added 62 yards and two touchdowns.
