The former No. 5 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft walked into the HardRock Stadium Sunday morning as he will start against the Arizona Cardinals. Miami is 2-4 on the season, but Tagovailoa’s return helps it try to make a push for the AFC playoffs.

Hopefully, the former Alabama standout has learned how to protect himself better from head/neck injuries. 

Tagovailoa returns for the first time since week two as a starter. He suffered a concussion earlier in the season versus the Bills.
