Tua Tagovailoa not cleared to practice; Raheem Mostert has broken thumb ahead of Dolphins-Bills playoff game

Injuries are piling up in the Miami Dolphins backfield ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills.

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Monday that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has yet to be cleared for football activity and confirmed that running back Raheem Mostert has a broken thumb. That status of both players is in doubt for Sunday's game.

Mostert broke a thumb against the New York Jets on Sunday. The injury requires surgery scheduled for Monday. New of the injury broke Monday afternoon before McDaniel confirmed it in his news conference.
