Tagovailoa was able to throw during practice on Monday, which is a good sign for his recovery. Flores commented on how far Tagovailoa is from being ready to play again.
“He is making a lot of improvement. What we need to see is to see him move around, see him throw the ball, see him on the run. See the deep ball. The one thing we won’t see i real and true contact. There will obviously be some pain tolerance he’ll need to deal with,”Flores on Tua
