Miami Dolphins to rest Tua Tagovailoa, most starters for exhibition finale

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and most of the other Miami Dolphins starters will sit out the team's exhibition finale Sunday at the Cincinnati Bengals.

Several starting offensive linemen will likely see action, coach Brian Flores said Thursday.

"We've got to play the game, so we're not going to rest everybody," Flores said. "So there will be some guys in there who will get an opportunity. But we'll try to rest most of the - let's call them 'starters.'"

Tagovailoa, who has had a strong training camp, will finish the preseason 24 for 34 for 282 yards with one touchdown and one interception and a 93.
