**Miami, FL** – The Miami Dolphins have placed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Injured Reserve, Head Coach Mike McDaniel announced today. McDaniel provided some insight into the decision, citing the need to “allow Tua to fully recover” from his recent concussion.

“This decision was made with Tua’s long-term health and well-being in mind,” McDaniel stated. “We are confident in his ability to return to full strength and play at a high level in the future.”

The move comes after Tagovailoa suffered his second concussion of the season, prompting concern about his health. This latest injury forced him to miss the Dolphins’ recent game against the Buffalo Bills, a game they ultimately lost.

McDaniel also provided updates on injured players Raheem Mostert and Terron Armstead.

“Raheem is making good progress in his recovery and we are hopeful he will be back soon,” said McDaniel. “Terron is working hard to get back to full health, and we are taking it day by day with him.”

The Dolphins’ next game is against the New York Jets, and the team will be looking to Skylar Thompson to lead the offense in Tagovailoa’s absence.
