Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is set for a stint on the injured reserve as he recovers from a rib injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The decision to put the former Alabama star on the IR means that Tagovailoa will miss at least the next three games, although head coach Brian Flores had already ruled out the quarterback for Sunday's trip to Las Vegas.
Tagovailoa won't be eligible to return until Week 6 against the Jaguars on Oct. 17 as he will also miss the Dolphins' games against the Colts and Buccaneers.
