The Miami Dolphins will feature a different quarterback under center when they visit the New England Patriots on Oct. 6 during Week 5 of the NFL season.
Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who received a major extension this offseason, will not suit up for that game after the Dolphins placed him on injured reserve on Tuesday. The Alabama product suffered a concussion against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football in Week 2. Tagovailoa will not be eligible tor return until Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Tagovailoa reportedly plans to keep playing football despite numerous concussions to this point in his NFL career.
