Dolphins linebacker Tua Tagovailoa missed team practice on Thursday, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
When Tagovailoa will return, no one knows, not even his brother.
Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa spoke with Reynolds ahead of the Dukes’ Mayo Bowl on Friday.
“Everyone has their own opinion,” Taulia Tagovailoa said. “My brother, I know he works hard. I know he has a family now. I want my brother to be safe, but at the same time I know he has a love and passion for football. I feel that he will make the right decision. The biggest thing is to stay safe, so for that he has to pray. I know that when it comes down to it, he will make the right decision.”
With Tua Tagovailoa in the concussion protocol for the second time this season, Teddy Bridgewater is expected to start this week against the Patriots.
Should Tagovailoa return this season or ever?
Taulia Tagovailoa said he believes his brother will play again at some point.
“I just feel like he’s not going to stop playing football,” Taulia Tagovailoa said. “I feel like every chance he gets, he’s going to try to play. I don’t know, just ‘go till the wheels fall off’.”
