The Dolphins quarterback practice status is 'fluid' because of contract discussions.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will practice today as the organization starts training camp but will not take part in 11-on-11 drills.

Miami manager Mike McDaniel today acknowledged the quarterback’s ongoing deal talks with the franchise since the beginning of the offseason. The ex-number 5 selection attended mandatory minicamp in its entirety in the past month but was absent for at least a portion of the Dolphins’ offseason program before that.

When Tua was part of the Miami organized activities, he did not take part in drills; it’s a scenario the head coach expects the team to follow in the near future.

“It’s very fluid,” Mike admitted. “We’re taking it daily; today, I believe it will be kind of like OTAs, and we’ll continue from there.”

Tua led the league in passing yards in the past campaign with a career-high 4,624 yards and 29 TDs while competing in all 18 of Miami’s matches. Tagovailoa and the Dolphins have been discussing a new deal extension since the start of the offseason, with both sides revealing that they want that to happen as soon as possible.
