MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is focused on prolonging his availability after missing a career-high six games in 2024.
Speaking to local media Tuesday at the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp for the first time since January, Tagovailoa said the hip injury that effectively ended his season in Week 17 started to "feel a little better" in February and wouldn't be a concern moving forward - as long as he protects himself in future games.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said, in January, that while some of Tagovailoa's career injuries were outside of his control, "he needs to be available," and that not being available due to "taking chances and risk is unacceptable to us.
