Tyreek Hill says there's a reason to believe Tua Tagovailoa won't miss practice amid contract dispute image

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa answered one big question that NFL fans and media analysts had before Tuesday's opening of Dolphins training camp.  He showed up indicating that he did not intend to hold out for a new contract despite entering the final year (fifth-year option) of his rookie contract.

The next question is whether Tua will be an active participant on the field in practice.  Tagovailoa's teammate, Tyreek Hill believes that Tua will be a full participant at training camp.  He said: “Tua’s very competitive. He would not tell you that, but he’s very competitive. He’s a guy that doesn’t want to fall too far behind. He understands that we have a really good team, and he doesn’t want to miss this window."  

The Dolphins' first practice is on Wednesday, July 24.  It is open to the media but closed to the public.
