Tagovailoa (thumb), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, is expected to start, barring any issues during pregame warmups, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The rookie quarterback injured the thumb on his throwing hand in practice back on Nov. 25 and sat out last weekend's win over the Jets, allowing Ryan Fitzpatrick to pick up a start. Per Rapoport, in anticipation of returning to the lineup, Tagovailoa took most of the Dolphins' first-team signal-caller reps at practice this week. While Tagovailoa's Week 13 active status will be confirmed prior to the first wave of games Sunday, the Dolphins may not formally announce a starting quarterback.
