The Miami Dolphins will head “across the pond” to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Week 6. They've been rolling with Jacoby Brissett as their QB1 for the last few weeks as Tua Tagovailoa was on injured reserve.
Per Pro Football Talk, Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has revealed that they now expect Tagovailoa to be back as the starting quarterback on Sunday against the Jaguars.
“I let those guys know that assuming everything goes well in practice today, Tua’s gonna start the game,” Flores said.
It was just a couple days ago that Flores sounded more down the middle on whether or not Tagovailoa would be available for the Dolphins.
“He is making a lot of improvement. What we need to see is to see him move around, see him throw the ball, see him on the run. See the deep ball. The one thing we won’t see i real and true contact. There will obviously be some pain tolerance he’ll need to deal with,” Flores said of Tua, per Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Now, the Dolphins are set to have their QB1 back.
It's been a dreadful start to the season for Miami as they sit with a 1-4 record. Nothing can cure a slow start better than getting a matchup with the Jaguars, who have lost 20 straight games dating back to last year. It's the perfect chance for the Dolphins to get back on the right track and they'll have Tagovailoa under center to do so.
