Tua Tagovailoa ruled out for Bills-Dolphins playoff game on Sunday

When the Miami Dolphins take the field at Highmark Stadium this Sunday for their third meeting with the Buffalo Bills this season, they will be doing it without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Miami head coach Mike McDaniel has already ruled the third-year quarterback out for Sunday’s Wild Card game, saying that he hasn’t been able to clear concussion protocol.

Tagovailoa, who is suffering from his second documented — but third suspected — concussion this season, has been in the league’s five-phase protocol since December 28 after having suffered a concussion in the Dolphins’ Christmas Day loss to the Green Bay Packers.
