Tua Tagovailoa is still dealing with an injury to his left thumb and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game versus the New York Jets.
Tua Tagovailoa and Jakeem Grant are questionable vs. NY Jets. Brian Flores says that was the best declaration.

Tagovailoa injured his thumb in practice earlier this week.
While things were trending positively earlier in the week, it appears the team wants more time to see how the rookie’s hand progresses.
Last Sunday, Tagovailoa was taken out of the game in the fourth quarter against the Denver Broncos.
Though he was benched, Dolphins head coach Brian Flores later made it clear that Tagovailoa was still the team’s starting quarterback.
If Tagovailoa is unable to go for Sunday, veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick will be thrust back into the starting role. His last start came against the Jets in Week 6.
