The Miami Dolphins officially began game week for their Sunday showdown against the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday.
On the initial injury report of the week, starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was one of six Dolphins listed as a limited participant. Tagovailoa is dealing with left thumb and quad issues.
In addition to Tagovailoa and others working in a limited capacity, running backs Raheem Moster (knee/ankle) and DeVon Achane (toe), tackle Terron Armstead (knee/ankle/back) and wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle/veteran rest) did not practice.
Tua Tagovailoa was limited at practice today with a left quad/thumb issue. Seven Dolphins didn’t practice including Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, Raheem Mostert.

Like many other players, Tagovailoa is definitely banged up at this point in the season, but we’re not worried about his availability for Sunday.
Keep in mind he spoke with reporters on Wednesday as well, another sign he’s going to be good to go.
In Sunday’s crucial 24-22 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Eve, Tagovailoa threw for 293 yards and a touchdown and led the game-winning drive culminating in Jason Sanders’ field goal as time expired.
The Dolphins and Ravens will meet with first place in the AFC on the line on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
