Tua Tagovailoa Ruled Out Against Browns

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been officially ruled out for their crucial Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns due to a significant hip injury, marking his fifth missed game this season. The team, currently with a 7-8 record, relies heavily on Tagovailoa's presence, and his absence may severely impact their playoff chances. Backup Tyler Huntley will start in his place, having previously struggled during a four-game stretch without Tagovailoa earlier in the season. Additionally, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle will also be inactive due to a knee injury, further depleting Miami's offensive options. The Dolphins must secure a win against the Browns and hope for favorable outcomes in other games to keep their postseason hopes alive. The matchup will take place at 4:05 p.m. ET, with the Dolphins needing a strong performance to overcome their injuries and a struggling Browns team.
