The Miami Dolphins will officially be without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday as they face the New York Jets, with the team listing the rookie as inactive. Tagovailoa hit his hand on a helmet in practice this week, jamming the thumb on his throwing hand, and was originally listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report, then was downgraded to doubtful on Saturday. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in Tagovailoa’s place.
Miami also elevated quarterback Reid Sinnett from the practice squad to serve as the backup behind Fitzpatrick.
Also inactive for Miami on Sunday are running back Salvon Ahmed, fullback Chandler Cox, guard Solomon Kindley, and defensive tackle Benito Jones.
