Tagovailoa (ankle) has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol but will remain out Sunday against the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Dolphins presumably want Tagovailoa to log more practice time before making him active, but if the quarterback remains free of setbacks in the days to come, he should return to the lineup Week 7 against the Steelers. Top backup Teddy Bridgewater (pectoral) also cleared the concussion protocol Saturday, but he remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game and is only expected to be available in a backup capacity against the Vikings. As a result, rookie seventh-round pick Skylar Thompson is slated to start versus Minnesota.
