Tagovailoa was diagnosed with his second concussion on Dec. 25 and missed Miami's final three games.

Coach Sean McVay has called the Rams’ plays throughout his tenure, and he went without a formal offensive coordinator in 2018 and 2019. The Rams wrapped up the worst season in NFL history by a defending Super Bowl champion this month, fielding the worst offense in the league by total yards after losing several significant players to injury. He led an offense last season that ranked 29th in scoring and 25th in total yards while struggling for consistent quarterback play. Tagovailoa took another hard hit four days before the Cincinnati game in a win over Buffalo. He was stretchered off the field and returned in Week 7. “That’s something that’s driven by the doctors,” Miami Coach Mike McDaniel said after the season ended.

Tua Tagovailoa won't participate in the Pro Bowl because he remains in concussion protocol more than a month after his last game.

He was named an alternate for either Joe Burrow or Patrick Mahomes as the winning quarterback of the AFC Championship Game will be preparing for the Super Bowl.

In October, Tua Tagovailoa said he didn't know if his parents were on board with him playing football after suffering a serious concussion.

[Oh, he comes back](https://www.khon2.com/sports/tagovailoa-parents-express-gratitude-optimism-for-tuas-future/),” Galu said.

When asked whether or not the third-year signal-caller would be back on the field in Miami next fall, both parents were definitive.

Amid concerns about his health and concussion status, Tua Tagovailoa's father said that the Dolphins QB will be back in 2023.

That was preceded by another instance of him hitting the turf just a few days before that incident. Tagovailoa was the center of attention when he had to be taken to the hospital after taking a nasty blow to the head in Week 4. “Oh, he comes back,” Galu (Tagovailoa, father of Tua Tagovailoa) said.

Parcells is a Hall of Fame coach, not a Hall of Fame general manager as the Dolphins discovered when he ran the franchise. The Dolphins have McDaniel, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to lure any quarterback but say they’re not going down that road for Rodgers. “If Tua gets hurt again, they better have someone to save the season.” It’s the open window the Dolphins have for one more year with Tagovailoa surrounded by higher-priced talent. Parcells sounded the warning all NFL types are. His Pro Bowl absence is a non-story (who cares and nothing matters until July — or even September). Maybe he’s Tom Brady leading Tampa Bay to win the Super Bowl. The option? But his paragraph sums up what five other current front-office officials or former general managers think of the Dolphins casting their future with Tagovailoa: It’s a roll of the dice. Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells wrote the Miami Dolphins are at risk relying on him. Just as it did during the 2022 season. He also had five central tenets in building a team.
