NFL Fans Thought a Bulked-Up Tua Tagovailoa Looked a Lot Different at Dolphins Practice

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was back practicing with his teammates this week for the first time since he was injured in a Christmas Day loss to the Packers, and one thing instantly stood out: He looked a lot different physically. 

The former Alabama star, who entered concussion protocol three times last season and missed the team’s final three games of the year, has apparently bulked up during the offseason and looks to be a lot stronger. He’s also sporting a different helmet to help prevent any more head injuries. 

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe had some details on the changes:
