Tua Tagovailoa injury update: Target date set for Dolphins QB's return from rib issue

Adam Spencer | 3 years ago

Tua Tagovailoa suffered a rib injury back on Sept. 19 when the Miami Dolphins were playing the Buffalo Bills.

The Dolphins placed their young quarterback on injured reserve, shutting him down for a few weeks. But, it seems he could be nearing a return.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Tagovailoa — the former Alabama star — could return on Oct. 17, when the Dolphins take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London:

That would be the soonest he’s eligible to come off the IR list, as he must miss a minimum of 3 weeks.

For now, Jacoby Brissett will continue to start for the Dolphins. Miami takes on Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon.
