Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will not play Week 3 because of fractured ribs, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Jacoby Brissett will start in place of Tua against a stout Las Vegas Raiders defense.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa underwent further tests this morning on his bruised ribs and my understanding is those didn’t reveal any major issues.

X-rays were negative, according to the rest of Pelissero's tweet. He went on to say it will be about pain tolerance and functionality moving forward as far as Tua's availability goes. Miami will travel to Las Vegas in Week 3 for a later afternoon game, so the hope is we have a more definite answer about Tagovailoa's status before that for fantasy owners. Brissett came on in Week 2 after Tua left the game and would get the start in Week 3 if Tua can't go.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Bills.

Tagovailoa slowly made his way to the bench and still had his helmet on. Jacoby Brissett is now in at quarterback for the Dolphins. We'll hopefully get more details very soon.

Tua Tagovailoa, as HC Brian Flores said last night, will start in Week 17 at Buffalo.

“Tua is a resilient kid,” Flores said Saturday night. “He’s a tough-minded kid. He’s happy that ‘Fitzy’ went in there and we won the game because he is a selfless, team-first guy. That’s why he is here. We’re always going to do what’s best for the team and try to help the team win.”

Flores called Fitz the team's relief pitcher, indicating he could come in later in games like a closer in baseball. While overall it's not an ideal situation, fantasy football or not, it does seem to be working in the present for Miami. It looks like Tua will start in Week 17, but with a chance he could get pulled in the game, he's obviously not a safe play.

Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has replaced Tua Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins have been doing plenty of flip-flopping at the quarterback position this season and this one comes at quite the crossroads for the Dolphins, trailing in the fourth quarter as they fight to make the playoffs. Tua was 17/22 for just 94 yards and a touchdown and was sacked three times.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.

Head coach Brian Flores is mum on the starting QB until Tua tests his thumb Sunday. If he does not go, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a premium streamer play.

According to Cameron Wolfe on Twitter, Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

Head coach Brian Flores has stated that Tua will be the starter when he is cleared to play, however, at this time, it is still unclear if he will be active for Week 13. Logging a full practice session on Friday would go a long way to helping his case to be active for Sunday, but the Dolphins are predictably being cautious with their prized rookie quarterback. Ryan Fitzpatrick is currently our 12th ranked quarterback for Week 13, thanks to a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
