Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa ill morning of game vs. Falcons
"Miami's starting quarterback, though, has no game status designation and is expected to start against the Falcons. Tagovailoa is trying to rebound from back-to-back three-interception games, the second instance while throwing for just 100 yards in an ugly 31-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Atlanta is already going to its backup quarterback Sunday, albeit a very experienced and well-paid one, in Kirk Cousins. Falcons starter Michael Penix is expected to be inactive with his knee injury."
"The Dolphins announced Sunday morning, more than three hours before the 1 p.m. kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, that Tagovailoa was being added to the injury report with the undisclosed illness. If Tagovailoa weren't able to play, the Dolphins' backup quarterback is in flux. It had been Zach Wilson for the first six games of the season, but before last week's loss to the Browns, he was supplanted by rookie seventh-round Quinn Ewers. Ewers ended up playing at the end of the 31-6 blowout."
Tagovailoa was added to the Dolphins' injury report Sunday morning with an undisclosed illness more than three hours before the 1 p.m. kickoff, yet he has no game status designation and is expected to start. He is attempting to rebound from consecutive three-interception games, including a 100-yard outing in a 31-6 loss to the Browns. Atlanta will start backup Kirk Cousins with Michael Penix expected inactive due to a knee injury. Miami's backup quarterback situation is unsettled after Zach Wilson was supplanted by rookie Quinn Ewers, who played late in the Browns blowout. Miami also remains without Tyreek Hill and Darren Waller.
