Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will play against the Cardinals on Sunday. It’s his first start since being concussed in Week 2.

The Dolphins designated Tagovailoa to return to practice on Monday after he spent about a month on injured reserve after suffering his third concussion of his NFL career on Sept. 12.

Tagovailoa has since met with numerous medical experts who deemed it safe for him to play football again, according to the team. He needed to clear the NFL’s five-step return-to-play process, which came after he participated in practices and took contact without exhibiting concussion symptoms.

Tagovailoa was examined after Thursday’s practice by an independent neurological consultant, who cleared him to play Sunday, coach Mike McDaniel said.

“Words can’t describe how excited I get for all players that have opportunities that I know they don’t take for granted,” McDaniel said Friday.

Haason Reddick is set to make his Jets debut Sunday against the Patriots. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Friday that Reddick will play.
