Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: 'You don't need that one' as he prepares to return from another concussion

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa will be encouraged to slide when he makes his expected return vs. Arizona Cardinals. The coach's message is much different from his previous comments, suggesting that Tagovailoa should be more cautious in protecting himself on the field. The Cardinals have a quarterback in Kyler Murray whose scrambling is a big part of his game, and they will need to account for that when trying to limit Tagovailoa's effectiveness. The Dolphins will be hoping to lean on Tagovailoa's strengths to jumpstart their waning offense.
