Team news: Miami Dolphins

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Jets with a thumb injury.

The Dolphins looks like they’re going to ease their fifth overall pick back into action, so it will be Ryan Fitzpatrick back in the starting lineup. Fitzpatrick threw three touchdowns and two interceptions back in Week 6 against the Jets before Miami made the switch to Tua, who was benched during Week 11 against the Broncos.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets, according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.

Head coach Brian Flores said Tua needs to warm up Sunday before a final decision is made. If he cannot go, Ryan Fitzpatrick gets a revenge game against the New York Jets.

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores told reporters that WR Jakeem Grant is questionable to play Sunday against the New York Jets.

The potential loss of Grant would mean extended work for Mack Hollins and recent 53-man addition Antonio Callaway.

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores told reporters that RB Salvon Ahmed will not play Sunday against the New York Jets.

Related Players: Myles Gaskin, DeAndre Washington, Matt Breida

There is no word on Gaskin being activated in time to play Sunday, so a backfield of Washington and Breida is likely.

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed missed his second straight practice.

Ahmed seems to have corrected some of the vision issues that plagued his college tape but may miss Week 12 if he is unable to practice on Friday. His injury could not have come at a worse time, as he was expected to have earned at least a change of pace role behind starter Myles Gaskin (who has been logging limited practice sessions the last two days but does not show up on the injury report since he has not yet been activated). If Gaskin shows well again in Week 12, Ahmed may return to a bit role similar to what Jordan Howard and Matt Breida saw this season when Gaskin was healthy. Ahmed is currently our 18th ranked running back for Week 12.

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was limited in Thursday's practice session.

Tua is expected to be available and under center for the Miami Dolphins in Week 12. The hope is that he returns to a full practice session on Friday, but there was been no concern among local beat writers regarding his status for this weekend. Hopefully, the Dolphins use this week's opponent, the lowly New York Jets, as an opportunity to truly unleash Tua in the passing game. Tua is our 23rd ranked quarterback for Week 12.
