'Laser focused' Tua Tagovailoa impresses HC Mike McDaniel

MIAMI -- Despite not playing football for nearly two weeks, Tua Tagovailoa impressed Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel with his focus when he returned to the practice field last week.

Tagovailoa suffered a concussion on Sept. 29 against the Cincinnati Bengals and missed the Dolphins' next two games. McDaniel said the star quarterback is preparing this week as the starter for Miami's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, adding that Tagovailoa is eager to return.

"He's laser focused. He's in his normal mood, but he doesn't lose attention span at the task at hand," McDaniel said.
