The Miami Dolphins appear to be leaning against playing starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday evening, although that decision is not final nor official.

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe relayed remarks from Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel Thursday indicating that the third-year NFL pro would likely be out based on Tagovailoa’s good practice form of late.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel indicates he’s leaning toward Tua Tagovailoa not playing in preseason opener Saturday vs. Bucs after liking what he’s seen over last couple of practices. No final decision yet though McDaniel also indicated he expects Tua to play in preseason.

Tagovailoa would have two more chances to play preseason games if he does not suit up against the Bucs. Miami will host the Las Vegas Raiders on Aug. 20 before welcoming the Philadelphia Eagles into town one week later. The regular season opens on Sept. 11 against the New England Patriots.
