The buzz around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is refusing to die down in the Dolphins organization. This means that a lot of players and coaches will continue to field questions about Tua, especially those who have a close working relationship with him.
Recently, wide receiver Tyreek Hill was cornered by reporters and asked about Tua’s well-being. Hill’s response was positive, stating, “Tua is doing great. I’m sure y’all done asked everybody in the locker room that, but he’s doing amazing.”
Hill emphasized the importance of ensuring Tua’s health and well-being, mentioning that football is not the only thing that matters. He mentioned how hearing Tua’s voice and learning that he was in good spirits put him at ease.
When reminded that every player needs to do their part on the field, Hill was resolute in his response. “Stay the same. Do what you’re coached, trust your fundamentals and techniques and you’ll be all right. When it’s time to make a play, it’s going to happen.”
With Tua sidelined, Skylar Thompson will be taking over at quarterback. Hill expressed his excitement about Thompson’s playing style, noting that he brings a different dynamic to the team with his speed and ability to extend plays.
As the Dolphins prepare for their first game of the 2024 season in Seattle without Tua, the concern for his well-being remains paramount. Tua will be out for at least four games as he continues to recover from his fourth concussion. The team will need to rally together and focus on their objectives without their star quarterback leading the charge.
