Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to return to practice Wednesday

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will take a small step Wednesday toward returning to football.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Tagovailoa, who has been in the concussion protocol since Sept. 29, will return to practice in a limited capacity, though he will not play Sunday against the Vikings.

“We just miss his personality. He's a guy that we rely on," McDaniel said, adding that Tagovailoa will take things slowly, working out and throwing individually.

Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in the first half of a Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals and had to be stretched off the field and taken to a hospital.
