Dolphins Rumors: Tua Tagovailoa out vs. Texans with Finger Injury; Brissett to Start

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will miss Sunday's game against the Houston Texans with "a small fracture in the middle finger of his throwing hand," per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Jacoby Brissett will start in his place.

Tagovailoa previously missed three games while recovering from fractured ribs he suffered during a Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The team went winless during his absence before he returned to the active roster for a Week 6 clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The 23-year-old Hawai'i native missed one game during his rookie season with a thumb injury.
