The Dolphins officially activated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from injured reserve Saturday.

The move was a formality after head coach Mike McDaniel announced Friday Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday against the Cardinals. He is still listed as questionable but is fully expected to play. The Dolphins hope Tagovailoa’s return will give them the spark they need on offense. Tim Boyle was released in a corresponding move.

Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared through concussion protocol.

He will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

We are so back. Tua has a great matchup, and can be considered as a low-end QB1 for managers who are looking to stream him in his first game back. Hill returns to WR1 consideration with the upside for a top-3 weekly finish, while Waddle managers can shake off the cobwebs and stick him in as a WR2.

If Taylor is indeed 100% heading into Houston, he should be back on RB1 radars.

This is fantastic news for the Dolphins offense (particularly Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle) in what should be a good matchup against the Cardinals defense. Tua can be considered a high end QB2 in his first week back.

Shane Steichen said he’s optimistic that DeForest Buckner and Jonathan Taylor could practice this week.

Taylor has been out since Week 4 and it would be a good sign if he can get back on the practice field leading up to a big game against the Texans. Goodson led the team in RB carries over Sermon 14-8, although Sermon was a bit more productive and also added a catch for 13 yards. Taylor's return would be a welcome addition to the offense and we'll hopefully know more as the week goes on. The Texans-Colts game is an early Sunday game so owners will have time to adjust lineups.

Tua Tagovailoa is due back on the practice field this week.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that the team will begin the process of bringing Tagovailoa off of injured reserve. Tagovailoa has been on the list since suffering a concussion in Week Two and he will remain in the concussion protocol until he takes part in practices without feeling any symptoms during or after the workouts. If he does get cleared, he’ll be on track to play against the Cardinals.

McDaniel said the plan is for Tua to practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get through the practice symptom-free. “The clearing doesn’t come until after some of the activity. We’re obviously doing so in the hope of everything going well so that he can play Sunday, but that will be to be determined,” McDaniel said in the story. The story added, according to McDaniel, “medical experts have deemed it safe” for Tagovailoa to return to the field at this point and said Tagovailoa would have to answer whether he will wear a Guardian Cap upon his return to game action.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to practice this week and could play in Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Tagovailoa is eligible to return to practice this week following his stint on injured reserve. The Dolphins have struggled on offense without Tagovailoa. Tyler Huntley will start Sunday against the Colts. Tagovailoa reportedly has no lingering effects from the concussion he suffered in Week 2.

Per Colts HC Shane Steichen, CB Chris Lammons, RB Jonathan Taylor are OUT Sunday vs. Dolphins.

QB Anthony Richardson, "will be ready to roll, yeah."

We can safely ignore the Colts backfield, but if you're truly desperate, Goodson can be plugged into Flexes, as the option who is getting some pass-game work.

Ekeler didn't do much with his heightened rushing opportunity last week, going 9-21-0, though he did add four catches for 47 yards, which saved his fantasy day. Both Robinson and Ekeler could be options if they're both at full health in Week 7, as they face off against a Panthers team that has been gashed everywhere and currently rank 32nd in RB aFPA.

Dan Quinn said Brian Robinson will practice today. DE Dorance Armstrong will not practice today. Quinn also said they're hoping Javontae Jean-Baptiste's stay on IR will be short.
