Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa Says He Will Focus More on Protecting Himself After His Latest Injury

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said during minicamp on Tuesday that he has shifted his mindset to focus more on protecting himself after his latest hip injury.
Tagovailoa's repeated injuries, including his fourth documented concussion and a hip injury in Week 15 that sidelined him for several games in 2024, led to his decision to prioritize health.
He played nine games after returning from the injury, helped Miami remain competitive for an AFC playoff spot, and acknowledged that protecting himself sometimes means leaving yards on the field.
Tagovailoa highlighted his commitment to maintaining his health to remain on the field for his teammates, stressing the importance of recognizing when to abandon a play to protect himself and stay available.
This shift suggests Tagovailoa aims for a healthier career and improved team success amid Miami's 25-year playoff win drought, as he carries leadership into the new season ahead of training camp.
