Week 8 of the NFL brings one of the biggest headlines in recent days: the return of Tua Tagovailoa to the field. The QB will once again be the starter as the Miami Dolphins face none other than the Arizona Cardinals. Additionally, there are reports of a potential return of a key player in Mike McDaniel‘s offense.
With the primary goal of securing their third victory of the season and getting back on track in the league, the Dolphins will need to defeat a tough team led by Kyler Murray. To achieve this, McDaniel will need his roster at full strength, and good news is slowly starting to come in.
Alongside the confirmed return of Tagovailoa to the starting lineup for the Dolphins, star WR Tyreek Hill is also set to return, having previously been listed as questionable due to a foot injury. This news was confirmed by journalist Adam Schefter.
“Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, listed as questionable for Sunday’s game due to an foot injury, is expected to play vs. the Cardinals, per source,” the ESPN journalist specializing in NFL coverage reflected through his X (formerly Twitter) account @AdamSchefter.

“He looked great. Felt like old times,” Hill stated to the press. “Me and him connected on a few deep shots today, and that kind of got me feeling good today. I missed that and I missed him. I told him I’ve got to take him and his wife to dinner because I missed him so much. S— was so beautiful, that s— almost made me cry today like just having him in the lineup, having him call the plays, having him direct the offense, like just hearing his voice.”
