MIAMI — Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared from the NFL’s concussion protocol, a league source confirmed to the Miami Herald, over a month after being diagnosed with his second concussion in the 2022 season.
Tagovailoa had been in the protocol since Dec. 26 and missed Miami’s final three games, including a season-ending loss to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round.
A league source told the Miami Herald last week that while Tagovailoa had not yet been cleared from the protocol, he had not sustained a setback and doctors were being cautious in his return from what was either his second or third concussion this season.
