Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to miss today’s crucial game against the New York Jets due to a hip injury sustained in Week 15 against the Houston Texans. This marks his second consecutive absence, with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley slated to start in his place.
Head coach Mike McDaniel has expressed concerns about Tagovailoa’s ability to meet the physical demands of the game and protect himself from further harm, emphasizing the need for ample recovery time to regain strength.
The Dolphins’ playoff hopes hinge not only on a victory against the Jets but also on the Denver Broncos losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. If both scenarios unfold favorably, Miami would secure the final AFC Wild Card spot.
Tagovailoa’s availability for potential playoff games remains uncertain, adding to the team’s challenges as they navigate this critical juncture of the season.
