Is Tua Tagovailoa playing tonight vs Vikings in Week 6

Tua Tagovailoa at the Miami Dolphins Training Camp Tua Tagovailoa is the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, but he has been missing in action following an injury. In what was shaping to be a defining season for him, the specter of concussion now hangs over him. He was injured in the Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills, but that did not lead to a concussion diagnosis, even though he seemed to stumble in real time. In the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, his head smashed into the turf again as he was sacked and was confirmed to have a concussive injury. The two injuries in consecutive weeks have put a lot of focus on NFL protocols regarding concussions, and there has been a tightening of these rules as the Miami Dolphins themselves have found out. Teddy Bridgewater, who replaced Tua Tagovailoa as the starting quarterback for the Dolphins, has now been ruled questionable for the upcoming game because of a spotter seeing a concussive hit that was otherwise missed on broadcast. There is a chance that rookie Skylar Thompson will start the game against the Vikings instead.
