MIAMI — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

This comes less than a week after Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during the Dolphins 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The franchise quarterback will miss the next four games and be eligible to return after the Dolphins’ Oct. 20 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

 

Tagovailoa went down in the third quarter of Thursday’s game against the Bills when the quarterback attempted to scramble on a crucial fourth down near the red zone. While diving head-first for the first down marker, Tagovailoa collided with Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s abdomen. He laid on the ground for several minutes after the hit but was able to walk off the field on his own power.
