Tua Tagovailoa

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returned to full participation in Friday's practice after his hip injury limited him in the first two practice days.

Tagovailoa (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returned to full participation in Friday's practice after his hip injury limited him in the first two practice days.

Tua Tagovailoa is set to start for the Dolphins in Sunday's home game against the 49ers, but the quarterback is likely to be without one of his top targets.

Head coach Mike McDaniel described the hip issue as standard wear and tear after over three months of football. Offensive coordinator Frank Smith said the same after Thursday's practice. Despite crashing and burning in Week 15, Tua and the Dolphins still have an outside chance to make the playoffs, though they need to win out and get some extra help. Tua will sit on the QB1/2 border for a must-win game versus the 49ers this week.
