Tua Tagovailoa Carted Off vs. Bills, Ruled Out With Rib Injury

Miami's second-year quarterback was taken to the locker room in the first quarter of Miami's matchup with the Bills.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was carted to the locker room in the first quarter of Miami's matchup with the Bills on Sunday.

Tagovailoa exited the contest after he was hit on a 4th-and-2 play by Buffalo defensive lineman A.J. Epenesa. Tagovailoa threw an incomplete pass before he was hit, and he attempted to walk to the sideline before trainers came to look at him.
