The Dolphins already ruled out quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from this Sunday’s upcoming game against the Jets, coach Mike McDaniel announced Monday.
Tagovailoa, who suffered head and neck injuries in last Thursday’s game against the Bengals, remains in the concussion protocol. The third-year quarterback left the contest in Cincinnati on a stretcher after his head hit the ground on a sack by Bengals defensive tackle Josh Tupou.
McDaniel said Monday he was “confident” Tagovailoa would miss the Week 5 game against New York, but it was too early to place any further timeline on the signal-caller’s return. The Dolphins have added depth at the position, signing free agent quarterback Reid Sinnett to their practice squad, according to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe.
