Tua Tagovailoa says “no ifs, ands, or buts” about it, he’ll play next week if the Dolphins are in the playoffs.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the New York Jets and considered highly unlikely to play. This will be the second straight start Tagovailoa will miss.

Tagovailoa was a limited participant in practice last week, too, and the Dolphins held him out of Sunday’s game when the injury did not improve in the expected manner, making it “not safe at all” for the quarterback to play, McDaniel said on Monday.
