quarterback is doubtful for Sunday's Week 12 game against the New York Jets because of a thumb injury.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news Saturday.
The Dolphins selected Tagovailoa out of Alabama with the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, and he took over the offense from veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick ahead of Week 8. He's posted a 100.1 passer rating with six touchdowns and no interceptions through five appearances.
His collegiate career with the Tide came to a premature end last November when he suffered a severe hip injury along with a broken nose and a concussion on a hard hit against Mississippi State.
