Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Jaylen Waddle out vs. Browns

Tua Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle are inactive for Sunday’s matchup against the host Cleveland Browns.

Tagovailoa was limited all week due to a hip injury and was downgraded to doubtful on Saturday afternoon.

Waddle, in turn, was questionable to play versus the Browns after being limited in practice on Thursday and Friday.

Tyler Huntley is expected to start under center for the Dolphins (7-8), who are fighting to stay in playoff contention and need a win against the Browns (3-12) to stay in the mix.

Huntley, 26, has started three games this season for the Dolphins while Tagovailoa was out before suffering a shoulder injury.

Huntley was 39 of 66 (59.1 percent) for 377 yards, one TD and one pick. He also ran 16 times for 67 yards and a score.

Tagovailoa already has missed four games this season because of a concussion while starting the other 11. He is 291 of 399 (league-best 72.9 percent) for 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Waddle, 26, has 54 catches this season for 700 yards and two touchdowns.

In addition to Tagovailoa and Waddle, linebackers Anthony Walker and Mohamed Kamara, cornerback Nik Needham, offensive lineman Andrew Meyer and wide receiver Erik Ezukanma are inactive for Sunday’s game.

For Cleveland, Jameis Winston will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

Wide receiver Cedric Tillman, cornerback Chigozie Anusiem, defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo and tight end David Njoku also are inactive for the Browns.
