Overview

• Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, was sacked three times, and was replaced late by Zach Wilson in the 33-8 loss at Indianapolis.
• Head coach Mike McDaniel called the performance embarrassing and said Tagovailoa missed throws he usually makes while also pointing to surprise pressures up front.
• McDaniel said RG James Daniels sustained a pectoral injury, will miss Week 2, and is not facing a season-ending absence.
• Former Dolphins CB Xavien Howard, now with the Colts, said taking away Tagovailoa’s first read put the quarterback in “panic mode,” reflecting Indy’s defensive plan.
• ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Miami is not considering a Tyreek Hill trade right now, though poor results could prompt broader options, as scrutiny on McDaniel rises before a Week 2 home game vs. the Patriots.
