Tua Tagovailoa is expected to play Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after being listed as questionable following an injury sustained on Sunday.
The 24-year-old stumbled off the field against the Buffalo Bills after being hit by linebacker Matt Milano and knocked to the floor. It looked as though Tagovailoa had suffered a concussion, but Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and the quarterback himself insisted that it was the back trouble that was the issues.
Regardless, unless there's a major setback before the game gets underway then Tagovailoa has passed the NFL 's concussion protocol, and will start against the Bengals. He should be joined by wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and left tackle Terron Armstead too, as they were also listed as questionable.
