Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Week 11 starter TBD
Coach Brian Flores reiterated Friday that Tagovailoa is viewed as the Dolphins' top QB, but declined to confirm the 2020 first-rounder as the team's Week 11 starter versus the Jets, citing the finger injury Tagovailoa is still dealing with, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Jacoby Brissett drew the start at QB in Thursday's 22-10 win over the Ravens because Flores believed Tagovailoa's fractured middle finger (on his throwing hand) was affecting some of his throws. However, when Brissett left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury, Tagovailoa was called upon and finished out the contest, even though Brissett was subsequently cleared to return. While Tagovailoa performed admirably in relief, Flores relayed that the signal-caller fought through some discomfort Thursday and banged up his finger in the process. With that in mind, it seems likely that Tagovailoa is on track to be somewhat limited once Miami resumes practice in advance of the team's Nov. 21 matchup against the Jets. Meanwhile, Flores noted that although Brissett's knee appears okay, he will be evaluated further in the coming days.
