Tua Tagovailoa's impending return is about to enter its initial step, Michael Baca of NFL.com reports.

The Miami Dolphins are expecting to open Tagovailoa's practice window this upcoming week, giving him 21 days to practice in anticipation of a return, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources.

Rapoport added that if all goes well, the hope is Tagovailoa will be back under center for Week 8's matchup against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, his first week of eligibility to return from injured reserve.

Tagovailoa suffered a concussion on Sept. 12 during a Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. It was his first diagnosed concussion since suffering two during the 2022 season.
