Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will reportedly miss multiple games.
According to Ian Rapoport, the young NFL passer is being placed on injured reserve after suffering broken ribs against the Bills. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
That means he’ll be out for at least three games.
Sources: The #Dolphins are placing QB Tua Tagovailoa on Injured Reserve, meaning he’ll miss three games. The hope is he returns from his broken ribs at that point. But it’s Jacoby Brissett’s show for the next three games.

This is such a tough break for Tua. His NFL career is off to a less than stellar start, and that’s putting it lightly.
He didn’t play well in 2020, and he’s now on IR by the third week of his sophomore campaign. He’s had a very tough time.

Obviously, the injury isn’t his fault, but it is another road bump when it comes to him staying on the field and developing.
Now, he’ll sit on the bench for multiple games.

Hopefully, Tua is able to recover and bounce back. It’s just another tough break in his short NFL career.
