Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has no plans to retire, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Sunday morning.

Tagovailoa has had at least three concussions in the last three football seasons.

"Mike McDaniel is exactly right," Rapoport said. "Tua Tagovailoa and his doctors will be making the decisions about his playing and his health. They will be driving the process. My understanding is Tua Tagovailoa has no plans to retire. No plans to retire. In fact his eyes are already on returning to the football field.

"As far as when that goes, we simply do not know. Every concussion is different. The way every player responds to a concussion is different. He will be healthy enough to play when he is healthy enough to play. And when he and his doctors decide that. That said, he has already begun the process of seeing concussion specialists. As he did in 2022. Wouldn't be surprised if he saw the same doctors."

Rapoport reiterated the plan is to play.

"The goal is to get on the field when he is ready," Rapoport said. "That's one reason Mike McDaniel would not put a timeline on it. Wouldn't even address it. Timelines lead to anxiety. As far as the football goes, wouldn't be surprised if he misses multiple games. As Mike McDaniel said, Skyler Thompson the starting quarterback going forward."

On Sunday, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo added Tua "hopes to be back in the relatively near future."
