Tagovailoa questionable for Week 12 with thumb injury

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is questionable to play Sunday against the New York Jets, head coach Brian Flores announced Friday, according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.

Tagovailoa suffered a left thumb injury Wednesday as a result of hitting it against a helmet during practice.

Flores said he wants to watch practice film before making a decision on Tagovailoa and running back Myles Gaskin, who hasn't played since Week 8 due to a knee injury.

Tagovailoa was removed from this past Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos in the fourth quarter due to performance reasons. Flores later said the first-round rookie will remain the Dolphins' starter over veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The 22-year-old has posted a 3-1 record as a starter while completing 61% of his pass attempts for 593 yards and six touchdowns.

Flores also ruled out running back Salvon Ahmed and guard Solomon Kindley due to a shoulder and foot injury, respectively.
