In just over three weeks, the Miami Dolphins will open training camp for the 2020 season ahead — and with it face the prospect of building upon a promising “foundation” year in 2020. The Miami Dolphins surprised everyone last season with a 5-4 stretch to finish the season and promptly followed suit by nailing down one of the most prolific college quarterbacks in recent history, plus a slew of new faces to add to the team.
The Dolphins will hold camp this year with fan enthusiasm as high as it has been in quite some time. But amid the restrictions of this offseason due to the ongoing health crisis, can the Dolphins rise to the challenge? We’ll be taking a look at each position group for the Miami Dolphins ahead of the start of training camp and exploring which storylines are most pressing to monitor as the Dolphins look to improve in year two under Brian Flores.
Here are the Dolphins’ key storylines in training camp at the quarterback position.
Is Tua ready to go?
The No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is going to command plenty of coverage later this month. And while the NFL has recently unveiled new training camp policies that will grossly cut down on the “breaking news” tweets that Tua is running with the second or first string offense, you can be sure that the coverage of Tagovailoa’s availability is going to be a main storyline in camp.
The Dolphins are hopeful that Tagovailoa’s recovery from a hip injury will have no limitations on his availability from the jump — but whether or not that is the case the Dolphins would still need to choose to give him the start from the jump.
