Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with an injury and is expected to miss time in the early days of training camp.
Tagovailoa signed with the Atlanta Falcons after the Miami Dolphins released him. Falcons’ head coach Kevin Stefanski provided an update on Tagovailoa on Wednesday and said the quarterback has an injury that ‘flared up.’
“He will be out there sooner rather than later,” Stefanski said.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tagovailoa is dealing with a back issue.
