According to a report, the Miami Dolphins got some good news on Monday regarding the recent injury to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
It sounds like no major issues were revealed upon further testing.
#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa underwent further tests this morning on his bruised ribs and my understanding is those didn’t reveal any major issues. X-rays were negative. So it’ll be about pain tolerance and functionality moving forward. #Raiders await Sunday in Las Vegas.

The Dolphins got a major scare when Tagovailoa exited Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills in the first quarter with an injury. He did not return to action once he left the game.
Tagovailoa’s absence was certainly felt, as Miami lost the game in a blowout. The defeat moved the team to 1-1 on the season.
Many fans’ top concern after the loss was Tagovailoa’s health. Fortunately, it sounds like the injury isn’t serious in nature. Time will tell if he plays in Week 3.
So far in 2021, the 23-year-old has completed 54.8 percent of his passes for 215 yards and a touchdown.
