Tua Tagovailoa - English
The Miami Dolphins have one clear goal heading into the new season: improvement and a return to the playoffs. That challenge falls squarely on the shoulders of head coach Mike McDaniel, who is under pressure to guide the team to a memorable campaign. The roster is loaded with talent, now it’s time to turn potential into results.
However, one looming concern continues to stir questions within the franchise: the health and consistency of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Tagovailoa arrived in Miami as a highly promising prospect, but his journey since has been marked by flashes of brilliance, interrupted by injuries and inconsistency.

Interestingly, Tua Tagovailoa’s health has become such a prominent topic that even U.S. President Donald Trump has addressed it publicly. Head coach Mike McDaniel appeared to align with the president’s remarks, reinforcing the growing focus on Tagovailoa’s ability to stay healthy.
Presidential spotlight: Trump comments on Tua Tagovailoa
Donald Trump’s comments about Tua Tagovailoa came during an event tied to the Presidential Fitness Test, a longtime fixture in American public schools that tested students on a series of physical benchmarks.
During the event, despite Donald Trump’s noticeable difficulty pronouncing Tua Tagovailoa’s last name, the Miami Dolphins quarterback was in attendance. Trump praised Tagovailoa’s talent while acknowledging concerns about his durability, “Tagovailoa the quarterback, he’s been fantastic. When he’s not injured, he’s great. He’s gotta stay healthy. He’s a great guy.”
The remarks underscored the national spotlight on Tagovailoa’s ability to stay healthy as the Dolphins gear up for the 2025 season. The commentary didn’t go unnoticed in Miami, reaching the desk of head coach Mike McDaniel, who responded to the president’s words with a light-hearted acknowledgment during training camp.
Dolphins Coach weighs in after Trump comments on Tagovailoa
Mike McDaniel spoke with NFL Network about the Dolphins’ preseason preparations and addressed recent comments from President Trump regarding Tua Tagovailoa. While McDaniel acknowledged the president’s concerns about the quarterback’s durability, he reassured that Tagovailoa is fully healthy heading into the 2025 season and ready to lead the offense.
“I think if I was concerned about how serious he (Tua) was taking his part in staying healthy, I think he got an executive order last night to stay healthy if I’m not mistaken,” McDaniel joked about the health and moment of Tua Tagovailoa.
For now, the Miami Dolphins are focused on preparing for a season filled with challenges. The first hurdle will be building a competitive roster capable of securing a playoff berth. From there, the goal becomes even more pressing: winning a postseason game, something the franchise hasn’t accomplished since 2000.
