The Miami Dolphins organization has been under a lot of pressure lately, and it's no surprise why. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's concussion injury has left fans worried about his future. In an effort to ease concerns, head coach Mike McDaniel has given an update on the situation.

To start, McDaniel revealed that Tagovailoa is in good spirits, laughing and joking with his teammates and medical staff. While this is a positive sign, the coach emphasized that the team will continue to monitor his progress on a day-to-day basis. McDaniel did not provide any information on the severity of the injury, stating that he would wait for the final reports before making any decisions.

In the meantime, the Dolphins have brought in backup quarterback Tyler "Snoop" Huntley to provide depth to the quarterback department. McDaniel believes that Huntley's addition will help maintain the balance of the locker room and provide a sense of security for the team. Huntley's experience playing for the Baltimore Ravens, where he replaced Lamar Jackson, has certainly caught the coach's attention.

The coach also revealed that he was unaware of the extent of Tagovailoa's injury, and that general manager Chris Grier was in the same boat. Without this information, the team has yet to make a decision about placing the quarterback on the injured reserve list, which would keep him out for four games.

One thing McDaniel is clear about is that he will leave the decision to retire up to Tagovailoa. While there have been rumors circulating about the quarterback's potential retirement, McDaniel has been adamant that he will not pressure his player into making a decision. He has even gone on record saying that he believes Tagovailoa will return to the field instead of hanging up his cleats.
