Last season, Miami Dolphins star Tua Tagovailoa missed several games due to concussions sustained during the season. Tagovailoa missed the team’s final three games, including a playoff matchup with the Buffalo Bills. But it sounds like he’s doing everything he can to make sure he’s on the field as much as possible next season.
Tagovailoa has already revealed that he’s learning jiu-jitsu lessons to help protect him against hits to his head, and it looks like he’s doing some other strength exercises to help him stay healthy, as well.
“Offseason training’s been good,” Tagovailoa said Monday according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “Been working on strength in many areas and been chipping away at things that I felt like I needed to work on to get to where I feel I can get to in the later parts of the season.”
Tagovailoa has proven himself one of the top quarterbacks in the league if he can stay healthy, and he’s excited to get back to the team – especially after the addition of a few new players.
“I’m very excited,” Tagovailoa said. “I think our entire team is excited to get back out there, get to meet a lot of the newer guys. A lot of the newer guys getting to meet a lot of the guys that have been in this system for a whole year now.”
