Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will not play against the New England Patriots on Sunday after being placed in the NFL's concussion protocol.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that veteran backup Teddy Bridgewater will start in Tagovailoa's place, and he added that Tua should "worry about his health first."
McDaniel said Tagovailoa was placed in the league's concussion protocol for the second time this season following Miami's Week 16 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He had played the entire game and had one of his worst performances of the season, throwing three interceptions in the fourth quarter.
