Tua Tagovailoa Inactive for Dolphins Game vs. Browns

The Miami Dolphins’ chances of making the playoffs have taken another hit, with star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa being ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Tagovailoa was downgraded to “doubtful” due to a hip injury and will not participate in today’s matchup.

Tagovailoa has been playing through a hip issue that worsened after he played against the San Francisco 49ers last week. The Dolphins are now relying on backup quarterback Jake Huntley, who will take over as QB1.

The Dolphins’ playoff hopes still exist but are under significant pressure. A win would push them ahead of the Colts and Bengals in the wild-card race. With just two games remaining, Miami must win out to secure a spot in the playoffs.

Miami’s schedule for Week 17:
– at Cleveland Browns
Week 18:
– at New York Jets
