MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins are hoping to build on a season that began with a lot of promise but finished with a 9-9 record after Sunday’s playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills. General manager Chris Grier says the Dolphins remain committed to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and that he will be the starter in 2023. Tagovailoa was diagnosed with two concussions this season that forced him to miss five games. Grier says based on his conversations with team doctors and NFL consultants, he doesn’t believe Tagovailoa will be any more susceptible to future concussions than any other player.
