Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel confirmed On Tuesday, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa entered and left the team’s voluntary offseason program. Tagovailoa competed Monday but was absent Tuesday to play in Nick Saban’s golf tournament.
McDaniel did not reveal whether Tagovailoa’s absence was contract-related.
“I’m not in the habit of speaking for other people’s mouths,” McDaniel said. “I’ll let you ask Tua.”
However, Tagovailoa hasn’t been sitting at home eating candy when he’s not at the team facility. He lost “10 to 15 pounds“This offseason, NFL Media’s Cameron Wolfe reports, placing Tagovailoa around 220.
The Dolphins list Tagovailoa at 227 after weighing in at 217 at the 2020 Scouting Combine. Tagovailoa added weight during the 2023 offseason and took up jiu-jitsu after several concussions the previous season.
But now, Tagovailoa is looking to be “a little more nimble” and add “a little more escape opportunities” in 2024, Wolfe reports.
“The results speak for themselves,” McDaniel said. “He’s slender.”
In 2023, Tagovailoa started every game in a season for the first time. He led the league with 4,624 passing yards while setting career highs in touchdowns (29) and interceptions (14).
