This news is a big boost for the Dolphins, who welcome the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from concussion protocol. Tagovailoa, out since a Sept. 12 game against the Buffalo Bills due to a concussion, was activated this week and is expected to start Sunday. His return could reignite the dynamic duo with Hill, who has expressed deep emotion about reconnecting with his quarterback.
Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill return to action for the Dolphins on Sunday
Visibly emotional during a recent practice, Hill shared his excitement over Tagovailoa’s return. “He looked great. It was like old times,” Hill remarked. “He and I connected on some deep shots today, and that made me feel good today. I missed it and I missed him. I told him I had to take him and his wife to dinner because I missed him so much. S… was so handsome, it almost made me cry today, like just having him in the lineup, asking him to run the plays, having him run the offense, like just to hear his voice.

The Dolphins have struggled mightily in Tagovailoa’s absence, going 1-3 in four games. The offense’s efficiency notably plummeted, ranking last in scoring and near the bottom in several other categories during that span. Hill’s production has also dropped, with projections suggesting he could finish with his lowest receiving yard total since his rookie year if the trend continues.
Hill’s expected participation on Sunday is crucial as Miami looks to turn things around and improve their offensive production. With Tagovailoa back at the helm, the Dolphins aim to reestablish themselves as a potent offensive unit, and Hill’s presence on the field will be vital to achieving that goal.
As the Dolphins prepare for the Cardinals, all eyes will be on this key offensive pair to see if they can recapture the magic that made them one of the most exciting combinations in the NFL.
