Since these Miami Dolphins never do anything easy, they were hit with an eleventh-hour shock that Tua Tagovailoa wouldn’t be available for only the most important hurdle to climb to date.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is doubtful for Week 17 due to a hip injury he suffered earlier this month. Tagovailoa was limited in two practices prior to a Week 16 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, but played through the injury in a 29-17 win.

The Miami Dolphins will try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
