The Dolphins face uncertainty with the Tua-to-Tyreek passing partnership entering the season opener. Limited joint reps date back nearly nine months and prior games showed modest production and miscommunications. Tua missed the final two games last season with a hip injury, while Tyreek missed most organized activities, minicamp, training camp, joint practices and preseason while recovering from right wrist surgery and an oblique injury. A postgame "I'm out" rant left the relationship strained. Opponents have increasingly limited the combination, and the offense must force chemistry in the remaining week before the opener to avoid a perilous situation.
MIAMI GARDENS - I'm concerned about the Miami Dolphins' Tua-to-Tyreek passing combination, and, by association, the Dolphins offense.

This is a perilous situation for the offense. The last time Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill
You'll recall Tua, valued for his accuracy and anticipation, missed the final two games last season - Cleveland and the New York Jets - with a hip injury. And Tyreek, valued for his speed and the fear he imparts on defenses, missed most of organized team activities, minicamp, training camp, joint practices and preseason games while recovering from right wrist surgery and an oblique injury.
