After suffering his third official NFL concussion, Tua Tagovailoa has been issued a stern warning by the Miami Dolphins, raising concerns about his future with the team due to his recurring injuries.

After making back-to-back appearances in the NFL playoffs for the first time in more than two decades, the Miami Dolphins aren’t in this season’s Super Bowl tournament.

According to The Athletic's playoff prediction model, the Dolphins have a 19% chance of making the playoffs heading into Week 18. This places them behind the Denver Broncos, who have a 74% chance, but ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals, whose chances stand at just 6%.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is doubtful for Week 18 due to a hip injury he suffered earlier this month. Tagovailoa was also doubtful last week for a game against the Cleveland Browns and was eventually listed as inactive.

Miami struggled throughout the season despite making a late push for the playoffs. Most of the problem lie on the quarterback position, as Tua Tagovailoa suffered another concussion in the Dolphins' 31-10 Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

When Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier was asked Tuesday why the team's 2024 season fell way short of expectations, he pinned some of the blame on Tua Tagovailoa's inability to avoid injuries.

The Miami Dolphins were a legitimate playoff contender heading into 2024. An injury that sidelined Tua Tagovailoa four weeks changed that, and on Tuesday, GM Chris Grier gave an honest assessment about the QB’s future.
