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.

He needs to be available,’ Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said, adding that he’s ‘very confident’ in his franchise quarterback. ‘He needs to know how to protect himself.’

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%.
