MIAMI — Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for Sunday’s wild-card round game against the Bills in Buffalo, coach Mike McDaniel announced Wednesday, as he hasn’t been cleared by doctors to resume on-field football activities.
McDaniel said the team is preparing as if rookie Skylar Thompson will start, while backup Teddy Bridgewater continues to heal from a dislocated pinkie on his right (throwing) hand.
Tagovailoa, who ended the regular season as the NFL’s highest-rated passer, hasn’t practiced since being diagnosed with his second concussion one day after Miami’s Christmas Day loss to the Green Bay Packers.
