The Miami Dolphins have placed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve, a league source confirmed to ESPN on Saturday, keeping him sidelined for at least the team’s next three games.
Tagovailoa fractured his ribs in Miami’s loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 and had previously been ruled out of this week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The earliest he can return to the field now is the Dolphins’ game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6, which will be played in London.
He will also miss games against the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
