Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa knows his availability is a top priority for he and the team heading into the 2025 NFL season.

Miami’s season went downhill in 2024 with Tua missing six games. He is taking measures during OTAs and minicamp to be in position to protect himself come the fall.

But as he enters his sixth season in the NFL, Tagovailoa has taken strides in becoming a stronger leader in the Dolphins' locker room. A number of his teammates, including wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and offensive tackle Austin Jackson, have taken notice.
