“It’s inspiring,” Estefani Ruiz said of Tagovailoa’s comeback. “It’s really inspiring.”

“I think it’s good (that Tagovailoa is returning),” Dolphins season ticket holder Lamont Brown said. “I think he's a great athlete. He is still young. If he can glide better, he will find protection for the helmet. I think this will be better.”

Another fan, Chris Herrera, said: “For his safety, damn it (he will cheer for Tagovailoa). As long as we have a good game. Every night, every Sunday, as long as it’s a great game.”

Palou said it will be harder than ever to watch the quarterback on the field.

“You worry when he pulls out of the bag,” he said. “Will he run? Will it slip, as I hope? You know, you're not in college football anymore. These guys are bigger, faster, stronger…”
