Tua Tagovailoa injury update: Dolphins QB's status vs. Browns revealed in report

Tua Tagovailoa is officially doubtful for the Miami Dolphins’ game against the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“Dolphins are downgrading Tua Tagovailoa to doubtful for Sunday’s game at Cleveland due to a hip injury, per sources,” Schefter wrote on Twitter. “Tagovailoa still is pushing to play Sunday, but if he can’t, Tyler Huntley would be in line to replace him.

Tagovailoa’s only played 11 games this season due to a previous concussion. This year, he has 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 72.9% completion percentage.

However, the Dolphins are just 7-8 this season and had struggles on the road in 2024. They’ll conclude the season with road games against the Browns and New York Jets.

“Part of the reason why the team put itself in position to win today is because there’s a lot in football that may be correlation, not causation,” head coach Mike McDaniel said on December 22. “So all the things that you haven’t done, if you really look at it with a fine tooth comb, yes, naturally you have to win in all atmospheres and against all different opponents.

“But the bigger thing is, when you’re trying to play football so that in the inevitable situation that you face every season, an elimination game, whether it’s to get in the playoffs or it’s in the playoffs, you want to be tooled with a team that can succeed or execute in those types of situations. I think the list is long when you’re talking about all the things that this team has to do that it has yet to do, but the formula is the same.”
