Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa enters game after Jacoby Brissett injures knee vs. Ravens
Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett suffered a scary-looking injury Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
On the Dolphins’ first possession of the third quarter, Brissett was sacked by Justin Houston. The veteran QB immediately grabbed his right knee and could be seen screaming in pain after the play.
Brissett walked off the field on his own power. Tua Tagovailoa, who was held out of the starting spot for the second straight game with a broken finger, immediately put his helmet on, though the Dolphins would punt on the next play.
The Dolphins said Brissett was questionable to return with a knee injury. It appeared he was ready to re-enter the game, but Fox’s Erin Andrews reported that coach Brian Flores kept Brissett from returning to let Tagovailoa stay in.
Tagovailoa took the field on the Dolphins’ next possession. He completed 1-of-3 passes (for nine yards) on his first drive, which ended in a punt after five plays.
It’s Tagovailoa’s first game action in nearly two weeks, after missing Sunday’s win over the Houston Texans.
