Overview

  • Tagovailoa says his hip has fully healed since February and he’s focusing on reading pressure to know when to throw the ball away or slide
  • He begins the season under a four-year, $212.1 million extension after missing six games last year with a concussion and hip injury
  • Coach Mike McDaniel and GM Chris Grier have made durability the offseason priority to prevent last year’s availability gaps
  • Tyreek Hill sat out catching drills at minicamp while recovering from wrist surgery and tight end Jonnu Smith missed sessions as he seeks a new contract
  • Tagovailoa is rebuilding chemistry with Jaylen Waddle in drills to expand his targets beyond Tyreek Hill
