Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Tagovailoa (ribs) is dealing with some swelling in a finger his left (throwing) hand. but the coach is optimistic the signal-caller will play Sunday versus the Texans, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Tagovailoa apparently suffered the finger injury on his throwing hand during last week's loss to the Bills, but it isn't expected to affect his availability for Week 9. The 23-year-old was able to practice as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday as he also continues to recover from the fractured ribs that sidelined him from Weeks 3 through 5. Tagovailoa may receive the questionable tag for Sunday, though he appears on track to play barring a setback.
