If Tagovailoa is unable to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the team would turn to backup Tyler Huntley to take over in the starting lineup. Huntley started three games for Miami earlier this season while Tagovailoa was on injured reserve. The Dolphins went 1-2 in those games and Huntley threw one touchdown and one interception.

Tagovailoa injured his hip in Week 15 against the Houston Texans. The franchise quarterback took another big hit during last Sunday’s matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers. When asked about the injury earlier this week, however, Tagovailoa downplayed its severity.
