Tagovailoa is considered day-to-day, with hopes the swelling he is experiencing can subside from the injury he suffered during a practice last Wednesday in preparation for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
Tagovailoa has a chance to return as the Dolphins’ starting quarterback when the team hosts the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 6, a league source told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Sunday.
The NFL Network also reported Sunday that Tagovailoa could see a “multi-game absence, but there is no way of telling” before he returns to practice this week.
The Dolphins will start 16-year veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Jets with hopes to improve to 7-4 this season, while the 0-10 Jets seek their elusive first win.
