Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa expected to play Thursday night vs. Bengals despite back, ankle injuries, per report - CBS Sports

The Miami Dolphins officially listed Tua Tagovailoa as questionable to play Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals due to back and ankle injuries, but the third-year quarterback is expected to play, per NFL Media.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said that it will be announced whether his quarterback is starting or not before Thursday evening, and that it won't be a game-time decision. 

The NFLPA said afterward it would review whether the Dolphins followed the concussion protocol, but the team has maintained it was a back issue

The Dolphins are one of just two remaining undefeated teams, and the play of their quarterback is a big reason why

If he does not start Thursday night, Teddy Bridgewater will take over. 

"I know if he doesn't play, it literally was not possible," McDaniel said (via Pro Football Talk)
