Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa in Danger of Missing Week 18, Miami Preparing Snoop Huntley to Start

The game status of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is in question for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Tagovailoa didn't play in the Dolphins' 20-3 triumph over the Cleveland Browns.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Tagovailoa's status is a"gray area, firmly unknown." Tagovailoa's recovery from a hip injury is "all about time," according to McDaniel.

Backup quarterback Snoop Huntley will get more practice reps than Tagovailoa this week, indicating it could be another start for the backup.
