Brian Flores Says Dolphins Could Delay Activation Of Tua Tagovailoa: ‘I Want What Is Best For Him’

(CBSMiami)- Ever since the Miami Dolphins selected him with the No. 5 overall pick in April’s draft, the question has been when, not if, Tua Tagovailoa will take over as the team’s starting quarterback. Judging by head coach Brian Flores’ comments on Tuesday, fans may have to wait to see the Alabama product take the field.

Speaking with reporters, Flores said that there is a possibility the team will delay activating the rookie quarterback to allow more time for him to recover from his hip injury.

“That is definitely part of the conversation, for sure,” said Flores via Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post.
