Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa likely to start, barring setbacks

LONDON -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will start against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday "if all goes well" at practice Friday, coach Brian Flores said.

Tagovailoa has missed the past three games while on injured reserve after fracturing his ribs in Miami's loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. The second-year quarterback began throwing last week and practiced Wednesday and Thursday before the team left for London on Thursday evening.

Flores said Tagovailoa has looked good this week, but he doesn't want the quarterback forcing the issue, despite the team's 1-4 record and four-game losing streak, in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
