Podcast: How does Tua Tagovailoa returning to concussion protocol impact Dolphins-Patriots?

The Dolphins can secure a playoff spot this weekend when they face the Patriots but might have to do it without their starting quarterback.

Tua Tagovailoa is in concussion protocol after reporting symptoms Monday, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. Tagovailoa’s status for Sunday’s road game against New England is uncertain but if he cannot play, Teddy Bridgewater will start.

Miami can clinch a postseason berth win a win and a New York Jets loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

In this week’s Dolphins In Depth podcast, Daniel Oyefusi and David Neal discuss the fallout of Tagovailoa returning to concussion protocol.
