MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will not play in the team’s Week 3 game at the Las Vegas Raiders, Dolphins coach Brian Flores announced Wednesday morning.
After initial reports indicated Tagovailoa had bruised ribs following a hit from Buffalo Bills defensive end A.J. Epenesa that knocked him out of Sunday’s 35-0 loss to the Bills, Flores said fractured ribs were discovered on Tagovailoa after further tests.
The Dolphins will stick with backup Jacoby Brissett on Sunday in Las Vegas after Brissett finished the loss to Buffalo after Tagovailoa made his exit following the second drive.
