Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was at the team facility Monday.

"He's downstairs today, smiling with his teammates," McDaniel said per the Miami Dolphins On SI. "He's working with trainers and medical staff diligently. As far as I'm concerned, you're in the protocol and I think he's doing well today and we take it day by day.

"He was feeling good, but what does that mean in terms of a medical diagnosis? I don't base my judgments on my interactions with him, necessarily, as much as it is hearing the end result of the medical examination and where he's at. So it was good to see him. And I know his teammates were pumped to see him."

McDaniel declined to address the NFL Network report from Sunday morning that indicated the former Alabama quarterback had no plans to retire. "I'll let Tua be the champion of his own career, and speak on that," the coach said.

Tagovailoa suffered an apparent concussion against the Bills on Thursday night. He has not been placed on injured reserve by the team. Miami has the longest trip not involving international travel on tap, as the Dolphins visit the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday.

On This Date in Crimson Tide History

September 17, 1988: It’s the day football wasn't played due to what became known as the Hurricane Bowl. Alabama coach Bill Curry refused to take his team to Texas A&M because of the threat of Hurricane Gilbert. Curry and Jackie Sherrill, the former roommate of Crimson Tide athletic director Steve Sloan, had a heated debate on national television on ESPN. The game was eventually rescheduled for Dec. 1 (Alabama won 30-10) – Bryant Museum
