Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins designated Tua Tagovailoa to return to practice on Monday after he spent about a month on injured reserve after suffering the third concussion of his NFL career on Sept. 12.

The team on Sunday confirmed the death of the three-time Pro Bowl selection. In a statement, his family said his “talent and passion left an indelible mark on the sport.”

The 26-year-old left Thursday night's game after he leaned headfirst into a tackle and added to an already worrying history of brain injury, prompting fans and former players to urge his retirement.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill also said he wants one of the officers involved in the incident dismissed from the police force.

The star wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins was stopped for speeding and reckless driving before the team’s first game of the season. His interaction with police escalated and is yet again prompting a larger discussion about the realities of “driving while Black.”

Less than a minute after the first words were exchanged between officers and Hill, an officer roughly pulled Hill from the car and forced him to the ground. Hill was cited for careless driving.

Saturday’s playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins could see temperatures drop as low as negative 4 degrees — a record for the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium. WLRN's partner Kansas City station KCUR looks at how fans will try to stave off frostbite.

Back-up quarterback Teddy Bridgewater looks set to start Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, in another blow to the Miami Dolphins' playoff hopes. Coach Mike McDaniel refused to confirm that Tua Tagovailoa would return this season.

Dolphins Tanner Connor and John Lovett arrived with their team earlier in the day ready to help and their teammate and North Fort Myers alumnus, ZaQuandre White, was on scene meeting with families and taking pictures with fans.

Tua Tagovailoa sustained a major hit in a Sept. 25 game that the team called a back injury that raised questions. Now, he's being treated for a possible concussion after a Thursday game.
