Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa 'now playing to keep his job,' NFL insider says

The Miami Dolphins and GM Chris Grier have split following the Dolphins’ 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Colin Cowherd asks if it’s time for the Dolphins to also part ways with HC Mike McDaniel and QB Tua Tagovailoa as well.

An NFL insider on Sunday sounded the alarm on the increased pressure on the shoulders of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as the organization entered a new stage.

The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said on "NFL GameDay Morning" it’s possible that Tagovailoa may not make it through the rest of the 2025 season as the starter.

"My understanding is there is a chance the Dolphins replace him as quarterback," Rapoport said. "He is now playing to keep his job. He leads the league with 11 interceptions – if this continues, do not be surprised later in the season if they go to one of his backups."

Tagovailoa’s backups include Zach Wilson and rookie Quinn Ewers.

The Dolphins lost 28-6 to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes in his return to the field.

Tagovailoa was 25-of-40 with 261 yards and an interception. He was sacked twice.
