Tua suffered his second confirmed concussion during a game on Christmas Day against the Green Bay Packers and did not play again.

Miami qualified for the playoffs without Tagovailoa available and nearly beat the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round, falling 34-31.

Per the report, medical professionals are confident Tagovailoa will be at full strength for the next time the Dolphins meet for a practice, which would be sometime this spring.
