MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was part of all drills Friday for the first time during the camp.

Tagovailoa did not take part in either individual or team drills Thursday, but coach Mike McDaniel said before Friday's practice that the Dolphins quarterback would be much more involved.

"Nothing's changed really from that standpoint in how we collectively approach practice," McDaniel said before the start of Day 3 of camp.

"As far as today I do think you'll observe him playing football in a multitude of fashions."

Tagovailoa, who is in a contract dispute with the team, was as involved as every other quarterback. He threw in individual drills and team drills — 1-on-1, 7-on-7 and 11-on-11.

Twice he hooked up with Tyreek Hill for highlight plays, one finding the All-Pro in tight space and once hitting him on a long pass after Hill burned safety Jalen Ramsey.

After limiting his participation to a couple of handoffs, and no passes in 11-on-11 drills during Wednesday's first day of training camp, Tagovailoa spent Day 2 in a No. 1 jersey but without his helmet. He did not take part in either individual or team drills.

The fifth-year quarterback's actions Thursday were more of a "hold-in," which means he reported to camp and was on the field during workouts but basically observed without participating in any drills.

McDaniel was asked Friday if he is looping in the team when it comes to Tua's participation each day.

"As professional athletes, people pretty much know and understand and are very considerate of business dealings," he said before adding the team finds opportunities to take advantage of every situation.

"You use the opportunity for any sort of advantage," he added.

McDaniel said when Tagovailoa sits out reps, those are not lost opportunities.

"Everybody involved has been super professional," McDaniel said. "If he is not going to be taking a rep he is not going to have that rep lost on him. Every rep, whether you are doing it or not, can be something you use to your advantage."

On Thursday, Tagovailoa joined teammates on the practice field in his traditional red, noncontact No. 1 jersey wearing a baseball cap. He chatted with QB coach Darrell Bevell.

Tagovailoa is seeking a contract extension in the $55 million-a-year range. He is playing under the contract he signed after being selected fifth overall by the Dolphins in 2020.
